Rajat Kapoor
PERFORMED BY
Kalki Koechlin, Vinay Pathak, Neil Bhoopalam, Sujay Saple, Puja Sarup, Mansi Multani & Namit Das.
SYNOPSIS
A bunch of clowns are putting up a show of hamlet - sometimes they misinterpret the text, sometimes find new meanings in it, sometimes try and understand it, very often make a mess of it. They edit the text, throw out some important scenes, and make a mess of
the order of things pretending as though the pages got mixed up. But through all this, they are simply looking for the essence of hamlet.

SYNOPSIS
A troupe of clowns has not been doing too well lately. They can’t stand each other in the troupe really. They keep fighting - couples go through their own broken relationships – and amidst all of this, the director tries to put up another Shakespeare's play. To make matters even worse, he decides that the men will play women and women, men. In spite of all their fears and doubts, they manage to put up a show eventually, and in the process they discover something new about themselves. TO FIND YOURSELF, YOU MUST BECOME... THE OTHER!

SYNOPSIS
Once again the clowns draw us to the world of Macky B and his Lady. Macky B is a good man, brave soldier, loyal friend and he would have been the same perhaps, if he didn't meet those three weird sisters that night! Sometimes it is better to not know what is in store for us. Sometimes, all you need is a little push to go to the other side. Macky B fell!

SYNOPSIS
Ever thought what a clown does when he is depressed? It sure is tough being a clown. Here is one who hasn’t stopped crying for days. The one he loved the most has left him and gone away... for good. Now he has NOTHING. He isn’t getting any younger either. In fact- he is old. But more than anything else, he is depressed because he has been forced to perform this play.
