  • Love and Information makes a grand return to the NCPA

    Love and Information makes a grand return to the NCPA

    Mumbai: Following the show’s sold-out success and overwhelming response from critics and audience members last April, the NCPA is delighted to bring back Love and Information to its revered Experimental Theatre this August.

    Written in 2012 by celebrated British playwright Caryl Churchill, Love and Information is a creative and experimental presentation that delves into the contemporary lives of the present society through an unconventional yet immersive theatrical experience.  

    As a series of over 50 disparate scenes divided into seven sections, the play is an exercise in reimagining the medium. The disruptive format of the script provides no stage directions, no character attributions and no notes for performance. Additionally, the play follows a non-linear narrative and is devoid of central characters, emphasising the cumulative impact of diverse, brief scenes ranging from seconds to minutes. The scenes are of varying lengths and the structure allows for the viewer to narrow in on a world oversaturated with information. The vignettes mirror the rapid pace of channel-hopping or scrolling through social media, highlighting potential implications for relationships in an era dominated by instant gratification and short attention spans.

    The play doesn’t limit itself to its technical uniqueness but also promises to challenge the audience by addressing a wide range of subjects covered from mental illness to privacy erosion to memory atrophy that cloud modern-day lifestyles.

    It has been adapted for Indian audiences in English and other regional languages including Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi. It features a talented cast including Ashish Mehta, Dusha, Kashish Saluja, Lovleen Misra, Mahesh Saini, Mallika Singh Hanspal, Mohit Solanki, Mrinmayee Godbole, Prajesh Kashyap, Rachel Dsouza, Rytasha Rathore, and Siddhesh Dhuri.

    Don’t miss this immersive theatrical presentation in Experimental Theatre at the NCPA, Mumbai.

    Content IP company KathaVersse Media Network launches its first travel chat show, “Zero To Hero,” on its nonfiction platform Digital Commentary on YouTube.

    Directed by Bibhu Nandan “Zero To Hero” follows the journeys of five trendsetting viral content creators who have dramatically transformed their lives through their content. Often labeled as “cringe,” these creators are, in our view, true heroes who inspire countless others.

    Our goal with this show is to highlight their life stories, the challenges they faced before discovering content creation, and the incredible impact it has had on their lives. We also want to capture how they handle criticism and online hate.

    Taking you straight to their hometown we bring you never seen before insights and anecdotes from their lives and homes. The show is hosted by Jasmeet Singh Bhatia who is a writer, actor and a stand-up comedian. 

    Contrary to popular belief, creating content is far from easy. With “Zero To Hero,” we offer an unprecedented look into the lives of these content creators.

    “Delving deeper into the show and the varied guests in the show COO, Kshitiz Sudhakar mentioned how these creators are made fun of left right and center before their ascent to mammoth viewership and following which could potentially help advertisers reach the nooks and corners of the Bharat i.e. the tier 2 and tier 3 Indian audience and fetch massive visibility”

    Digital Commentary currently boasts a subscriber base of 345K and a monthly YouTube viewership of 90 million.  On Facebook and Instagram, we have reached a combined monthly viewership of 40 million. Overall, in June 2024 Digital Commentary accumulated a monthly viewership of 135 million across its social platforms.

    “Emphasizing on KathaVersse’s content vision CEO, Aakash Kumar stated that KV aims to create IP’s with a shelf life of 7+ years and this show ZTH perfectly resonates with it as there’s a new crop of such inspiring viral creators every three month which seamlessly blends with our travel chat show format enabling us to create back-to-back new seasons of the show and not just in Hindi but in different Indian languages and geographies”

    Given the burgeoning non-fiction space in India and our compelling content strategy, we are confident of quadrupling these numbers within six to eight months. Digital Commentary is actively engaging with tier 2 and tier 3 audience-centric brands seeking to leverage our rapidly growing platform, which effectively targets the 18-34 demographic.

    We plan to launch at least two more non-fiction shows by the end of this 2024 financial year. Additionally, our fiction brand, Antenaaa Studio, is set to debut its first fiction show in the coming months on YouTube.

  • Stand up comedy has been a slow romance and I am enjoying it: Sumukhi Suresh

    Stand up comedy has been a slow romance and I am enjoying it: Sumukhi Suresh

    Mumbai: Comedy is considered an art and known as one of the most powerful forms of expression for telling the truth to power. In India, personal, societal, and political satire-related stand-up and comedy shows are highly popular. These shows are popular sources of entertainment and provide happiness which may be defined as funny programs on YouTube and other social media handles.

    Sumukhi Suresh, known for her sharp wit and humor, is all set to entertain her audiences on an international stage with her show “Hoemonal.” Starting from 31 July to 11 August, which marks an incredible milestone in her career as she takes her comedy beyond borders.

    Sumukhi’s journey from a comedian to an actor, writer, and entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring. Starting out in stand-up comedy, she quickly gained acclaim for her relatable humor. Her success on the comedy circuit laid the groundwork for her expansion into acting and writing, where she has continued to impress with her creativity.

    In addition to her artistic pursuits, Sumukhi is the founder of Motormouth, a platform that reflects her entrepreneurial spirit to foster new talent. Through Motormouth, she has contributed significantly to the comedy scene, helping emerging comedians find their voice.

    Indiantelevision.com caught up with Suresh where she shared her stand up comedy journey, vision behind creating Motormouth, the Edinburgh fringe festival, combating misogyny and much more…

    Edited excerpts

    Congratulations on taking ‘Hoemonal’ international! What inspired this decision and what can audiences abroad expect from the show?

    Thank you so much!  

    Edinburgh fringe festival is one of the most prestigious festivals in the world for performers. The festival was the inspiration behind it honestly. The audience can experience an honest tale of a 30s woman trying to balance hormonal imbalance and dating imbalance. I feel the core of Hoemonal is relatable and amusing and I would love for audiences abroad to experience that too.

    As the founder of Motormouth, could you share with us the vision behind it and how it supports emerging talent in the entertainment industry?

    Motormouth is my endeavor to bring together writers into the writers room and create movies and shows with protagonists that are female, flawed and fabulous.

    The aim is also to develop more women who can be head writers and shows-runners. I wish to be able to do the same work for other genders as I learn more about it.

    Comedy often transcends cultural boundaries. How do you think your style of humor resonates differently across different audiences, especially as you take your shows international?

    Comedy is most effective for me when I am most honest about what I am thinking about a premise. So when I write the show, I try to keep my jokes and observations as rooted in reality as I can.

    I like to perform by personalising my anecdotes and observations so that the audience either relates to it and those who don’t end up rooting for me.

    From your roots as a comedian to now branching into acting, writing, and entrepreneurship with Motormouth, how has your journey shaped your approach to comedy and storytelling?

    Actually my beginning was improv and sketch comedy. This is my love for writing and acting. Stand up comedy has been a slow romance and I am enjoying it.

    Each of these skills are so dynamic that there is something new to learn every day. I also think they are interconnected in so many ways that it helps in the overall growth of me as an artist.

    Lastly, what is your response to the “Women can’t do Comedy” narrative around the globe as we have been hearing this misogynist remark for a decade or so and what advice would you give to the upcoming female comedians for the same?

    This remark is not going away. Also this remark is centuries old now. In fact the moment I see this comment, I know a video of mine has gone viral.

    The only way to combat this is to keep doing the job, making money, dreaming about owning a mansion in your favorite city and then laugh at whoever says “women can’t do comedy”.
