Any relationship requires an equal contribution from both individuals, whether it’s brother and sister, mother and daughter, husband and wife, business or romantic partners. Exploring this theme, the Empurple theatre group brings a unique playback where the audience gets to share their experience of a relationship, where it will be enacted spontaneously by theatre actors. The Goregaon-based performance group will showcase this unique concept, titled 50-50: Rishton ka Pitara-A Playback Theatre Show and help the audience open up about their relationships with their respective partners.

The founder of the group, Preeti Birla Nair, explains, “It is an interactive performance where we, the actors, do not come with any prepared script. What we come up with is a theme that forms the larger guideline or an overarching umbrella, setting our minds in a particular direction. This theme could be very broad or it could be pertinent and specific. And I think 50-50: Rishton Ka Pitara sits somewhere in between.”
