The weekend concluding line-up at the Habba seems to feature quite a few young-blooded performances. We pick two performances we think you have to watch

Our city moves and grinds around us. Cars, autos, and motorbikes speed along our streets and new supermarkets, shopping malls and tall buildings rise, starting to dominate the skyline above us. Bangalore has been rapidly changing, through the businesses, the traffic and through all the different people that move into the city that we call home.

In Walking on Glass, Ram Ganesh Kamatham tries to encapsulate our fast changing city. The play is the story of a young couple Megha and Shankar, played by Meghana Mundkur and Abhishek Majumdar, as they try to make ends meet in a city that seems to have gone mad. Set in the heart of the IT boom of the 2000s, the two live a crazy life where Megha works nights at a call center while Shankar works as a software engineer.

While this seems to be the set up for a long, tiring, sob story, the play is far from it. It is a comedy with the couple's crazy life in a city, constantly changing, being full of moments of laughter. Ram Ganesh says this play carries a minor warning for interested theatergoers. In a fast-paced play about our changing city, be prepared to face the anger of the 'real' Bangalorean toou00a0-- swearing, to be precise.
