While ‘Come fall in love…’ remains a memorable tagline from Bollywood’s favourite love story Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, brace yourself for a storytelling event that invites you to do the same. These love stories, however, go beyond the usual boy-meets-girl formula. As part of its story slam initiatives, Kommune, a collective of artistes, performers, and creators, will host Kathakar: Ek manch prem kahaaniyon ka, an evening that will celebrate love stories of all kinds.
“While we have hosted multiple story slams before, this is the first one where we have introduced a theme. In the course of our earlier events, we realised that many people were writing about romance, and so we chose the theme of love stories,” says Pradumn Chourey, community manager (Hindi-Urdu) Kommune India. “We opened entries on September 22, and closed on October 14 during which we received 220 stories from Jammu and Kashmir and Siliguri, Shirdi, Bokaro, and the metros. The curatorial team first shortlisted 50, then 33, and finally 13, based on uniqueness, structure and writing style,” he reveals.
