New play explores complex relationships through dance

Directed by Trishla Patel and Shashank Vishnu Dutt, Tpot Production's new play, Jannat Central, explores complex relationships through dance. Starring Dutt, Sandip Soparrkar, Manali Panchal and Anna Ador, the story is set in the hills near Nainital, and centres on two girls, J and Nutty, who are as different as chalk and cheese but get along. While one struggles with even the most mundane of things, the other is trying to perfect her dance, and find work.

The situation changes with the arrival of a dance teacher, and the antics of a friend called Bobby. The common language between the two is dance. It binds and separates them. The play also explores the complicated relationship between a father and daughter, and traces their journey of discovering the meaning of Jannat.
