Smell is an influential tool to travel into lost time. It can evoke emotions, influence moods and have you reliving memories, both pleasant and painful. It might take a second or two to fully understand what thought is associated with the fragrance, but you know that it must be from something you’ve experienced before," says Omkar Bhatkar, actor-director of The Fifth Sense.



The experimental show, which is a compilation of seven stories, is based on true personal experiences related to the sense of smell. From stories that deal with the secure smell of an eight-year-old boy’s room to the stench of a rotting corpse and the masculine musk of lost love, the theatrical performance written by Harsh Shah, Nitya Narasimhan, Sanket Angane and Bhatkar, will also see an adaptation of a short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. "These stories will be narrated through the use of seven distinct aromas, so as to take the audience on an olfactory journey," explains Bhatkar, whose fascination and research on how smells can trigger forgotten memories first led to working on this show.
