People say “put your head down and keep putting in the work” and maybe there is truth to that after all. I think I finally understood it during the third rendition of Spiral. Our sixth show, our third performer, and somewhere in the middle of all the chaos, delays, shifting priorities and other projects taking over, this piece quietly kept waiting for its time.
As a writer and maker, there is something deeply fulfilling about finally seeing a vision breathe the way you always imagined it would. Not loudly, not dramatically, just a silent sense of arrival.
Preeti entered this process like a storm and completely made the piece her own. And the incredible avant garde geniuses, Ashim, Anil, Deepak, Yusra and Shameem, gave Spiral the pulse, texture and unease we had been searching for, for years.
Thank you Neha Kirpal for the beautiful feature in The Hindu and for engaging with the work so generously.
Next shows, Piano Man Eldeco Centre on the 24th of May at 5 PM and Piano Man Gurgaon on the 31st of May at 5 PM (Ticket link in bio)
Onwards and upwards.
