You know how we're always turning to books, web shows and films to look for that perfect, engaging mystery? Well, mysteries, old and new, exist in our everyday grind, too — in the ever-disappearing hair scrunchies, fruit cakes that never taste like mom's despite swearing by her recipe, and in the way parts of us chip away with time. It is these dull, humdrum whodunnits that city-based youth theatre movement Thespo is looking to decipher, with their participatory, improvised performance The Ministry of Mundane Mysteries, which is set to unfold over six phone calls.

Anoushka Zaveri, a member of Team Thespo, tells us that the week-long mystery adventure is part of their Double the Dramagiri digital festival, which includes a slew of workshops, plays, collaborations, hangout parties and readings put together by under-25-year-olds. The show has been created by Canadian artistes Sebastien Heins and Shannon Currie, who are part of a Toronto-based theatre company, Outside The March, and is supported by the Canadian consulate. "Theirs is one of the few collaborations we have with theatre-makers across the world. The concept evolved earlier this year when Heins was reinventing how storytelling could be taken to people's homes," Zaveri shares.
