Akshay Gandhi

During the hour-long performance, there is a scene where Desai plays nearly 15 characters — all visitors to a psychiatrist's clinic — who share tales of their affliction. The owner of a 24-storey structure for instance, says he can't sleep well at night, a domestic help talks about how "touch" makes her uncomfortable, or a solider back from war, reveals being haunted by sounds. This suffering is very human, but unfortunately popular narratives like cinema, have taken the liberty to paint a morbid picture of an unstable person, says Desai. "The composition of the performance instigates the performer as well as audience to explore the divisions of the mind and allow them to navigate through them," he adds.
