Dream Stage's Taboo Talks returns with its season 2. After its successful season one, it has come back with some other stories that are banished into taboo zones. Taboo Talks is a set of contemporary monologues bringing untold forbidden stories that delves into the hearts of shunned or unvoiced characters. This talk is not just about taboos, but it brings to you, the characters who are just looking for people to hear them out without being judged, sometimes the deepest and darkest recesses of their hearts, sometimes to mock the irony called life. This season includes themonologues of a male stripper, a teenager's rant (about a dysfunctional family), about disability and love, the story of a brothel land of a dissatisfied woman.
We often see that our society is so quick to judge and banish what it is uncomfortable with into a conveniently taboo zone. What's the reason behind that? Are we afraid of talking about this uncomfortable issue that someone will judge us on basis of this or are we afraid talking about these things will be akin to throwing a stone into still waters? Without engaging into that issue, we conveniently label them as right or wrong. Dream Stage's Taboo Talks 2.0 tries to bring out such stories or individuals who are all around us but shunned or blanked out in our society. They have become the "so called" taboo in the society we live.
The stage is set at the Jeff Goldberg Studio, Mumbai for this show to be showcased, this Saturday on January 2. Conceived and created by Baljeet Randhawa, the co-founder of the Dream Stage Theatre group, the show will feature artists like, Sanjay Gurbaxani, Radhika Kadam, Bushra Khan, Sarang Patwardhan and Shaurya Tyagi. The co-writers of this play are Rehan Shaurya, Ajinkya Raut, Sweta Mantrii, Harsh Toliwal.
Dream Stage is a group of young actors and directors with a vision. They are perhaps the first theatre group who has come up with such topics on the stage, which people often don't want to talk about. Their first season of Taboo Talks, in which the monologues included that of an unwed mother, a rapist, a bisexual, an adult porn star and monologue about breaking silence, was the path breaking success. Now they have come up with some other topics that are forbidden to talk about in our society. The show always explores newer and different forbidden characters and tales that needs to be told.
