IT IS YOU

Advertisement

A play. Beyond language. Beyond words.

Written by Vivek Vijayakumaran

Created, Devised and Performed by Pangambam Tyson Meitei & Vivek Vijayakumaran

Duration : 65 Min

Language: Non Verbal (No spoken text)

Ever felt trapped by unchosen rules? Silenced your voice because "that’s how it’s done"? What if your nods and obedience weren’t entirely yours?

IT IS YOU invites you to explore beyond roles, rituals, and language. This 60-minute immersive experience follows a carefully crafted narrative—two figures, trained in Kalakshetra (Manipur), Koodiyattam, and contemporary movement, embark on a journey of tension and harmony. Yet within this structure, there’s no fixed meaning. Through movement and a layered, resonant soundscape, you become the co-creator, weaving your emotions and memories into their story.

Without spoken words, the piece lives in the space between the performers’ intent and your introspection.

Reema Gowalla (TheatreRoom) writes:
"An intimate soundscape of wind/percussion guides this artistic, provocative piece. Breath and body tension take center stage as two characters wrestle with balance—within and beyond. Themes of identity, collective responsibility, and our planet’s future entwine, urging immersion and introspection."

Ready to meet a story that’s both guided and open? Arrive soon. IT IS YOU awaits.
