The House Blue

THE HOUSE BLUE

What is home? Does a home need to be a physical space that one occupies? Can a place become a person and vice-versa? How does homelessness feel? What would its contours be? What does it mean to migrate, be displaced, and to desert? What are the ways in which we engage with loss? These questions form the core themes of this performance.

The House Blue is a collaborative narrative theatre performance. The work is rooted in a series of images made by Mritunjay Kumar, a documentary photographer and filmmaker, of a government quarter, taken on the last day of its occupancy by his family. While the images themselves may seem like an attempt to capture the ephemeral aspect of leaving a house, the work is an enquiry of the questions that Mritunjay and perhaps countless other people have.
The performance is in Hindustani and 80 minutes long.
