Host-A-Performance | Schedule

This solo piece is enacted by Lushin Dubey and scripted for stage and directed by Arvind Gaur and music by Dr. Sangeeta Gaur. It is inspired by the eminent Vijay Dan Detha’s 'Nyari Nyari Maryada' and Nobel-Laureate Dari Fo’s 'Medea'. Untitled has done over 300 performances to much acclaim, across India and abroad ,UK, USA,).

The focus is on a Rajasthani queen who refuses to be an ornamental puppet in her palace. She renegotiates her boundaries, breaking free of the shackles of centuries-old traditions, and endows herself with an independent and emancipated identity.

Lushin portrays 12 characters: for the most part, the men are hand-held puppets in her hands , while the women are embodied in her own person. The play alternates between Hindi (80%) and English (20%), emphasizing how time has stood still for women between the ancient Greece of Dario Fo and 20th-century Rajasthan of Dan Detha, until the women themselves decide to take their destiny into their own hands
