Purva Naresh and Sri Vamsi Matta Imagine a podcast or a talk radio show featuring two playwrights in conversation with one another. Except this is happening live, on a Sunday morning at the Tata Gardens, with the sea in the background, NCPA's trademark sandwiches and cold coffee and a special something. Come listen to Purva Naresh and Vamsi Matta have a casual chat about their work, their interests and inspirations, their dreams and dilemnas. And while they’re there, they may as well share some excerpts of their work, of poems and short stories and even songs that they like. And as for that special something…? You’re going to have to wait. Trust us, it’ll be worth it. Purva Naresh is a writer-director-musician based in Mumbai. She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in film production from FTII Pune. Since then, she has been writing, directing, choreographing, and producing for the theatre. Purva has written more than 10 plays, all of which have been staged in India and abroad. She has been invited by the Royal Court, London, and Curve Theatre, Leicester to read and present her new plays and was awarded the Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar of Sangeet Natak Akademi for 2013-2014 for her notable talent in playwriting. Sri Vamsi Matta, or simply Vamsi, is a Bangalore-based interdisciplinary theatre artist. His practice is profoundly shaped by his Dalit identity, experiences, and the context of his location, guiding the themes, questions, and mediums he explores. As a member of a community historically labeled "untouchable" and marginalized by the Hindu caste system, Vamsi's work critically engages with the oppressive structures and narratives that have impacted his community. "Prerana is a graduate of Drama School Mumbai (2020) and has since been involved in several aspects of theatre making in Delhi and Mumbai. She is an actor, lighting designer, translator and writer, as well as being a versatile musician. Her music journey started through nukkad naatak and has since composed music and played for several plays including Baap Re, Azaam Azeez, Jo aah so Aah and Janpad Bijnor. She is proficient in playing the djembe, dholak, flute and guitar. 'कला और काल का एक संबंध है की दोनों का होना निश्चित है, जहां काल सबको क्षणिक बनाता है वहीं कला उसको अमर." Whether you’re looking for something new or something familiar, we’ve got your covered.
