SUMMARY:Project Darling (dir. Sharanya Ramprakash)
DESCRIPTION:The play traces the journey of a group of performers who set ou
 t on a search for Chenni - an iconic character who ruled the Kannada stage
  with her double-meaning dialogues and sexual innuendo. While trying to fi
 nd her\, they stumble upon several other actresses who had their own stori
 es to share. Will they eventually meet Chenni? What will they discover? Pr
 oject Darling is an incisive examination of female sexuality at the crossr
 oads of censorship and culture. \n\nThe play is based on a research proje
 ct where the director interviewed several current and erstwhile female per
 formers from Kannada theatre. The play juxtaposes videos\, photos and soun
 dscapes from her research with song\, dance\, puppetry and clowning as it 
 seeks to rewrite Kannada Rangabhoomi’s women performers back into our cu
 ltural history…on our own terms. Supported by India Foundation for the A
 rts (IFA) research grant\, reFrame Genderalities fellowship and developed 
 at Nirdigantha – an incubation centre for theatre by national award-winn
 ing actor Prakash Raj.\n\nPlease note that the play is in Kannada with Eng
 lish subtitles
