Yadavan Chandran’s ‘meanwhile elsewhere’ gives you a reality check, that you have questioned life and death, attachment and meaning of contingent, one has also given a lamp. However, what does not happen after seeing that you are getting out in comfort acceptance or quiet submission. This drama cures a mental canvas, where you face the extremes in emotions and ideas, argue internal, assess the needs, want and desires only to feel light, perhaps clear, from its sheer depiction and illustration.
Italo inspired by Calvino’s novel Invisible cityS, ‘meanwhile somewhere else “we live with” and as Yadvan, who imagine and direct, made it clear, “it clarify that” to detect the invisible thread, which bind us for places, experiences, memories and dreams. ,
Classical dancer and activist Mallika Sarabhai, award -winning theater artist Panelop Deen, Bharatanatyam Dancer and Drama Artist Lucrezia Mankoti, and Educator and Theater and Theater Artist Tartha Bhatt, supported by a terrible team, is supported by a terrible team, which is in all armed transport, which is in all armed transport. If one leads the audience to a parallel world, another intensive insight discovery; One finds a relationship between a past and the future world and dare to have a dream and meaning. The very fact is that different characters who play Marco in a drama have been told about different layers with a person and how vague each person’s realities and in the world, each story.

The narrative does not progress to the middle and an end to an end, but comfort and inconveniences that change you with realities you relate and understand the meanings you have or are still understood when they disturb your acceptance bar.
Since the inauguration during the Vikram Sarabhai International Arts Festival in December 2024, Natrani, after 13 shows in Ahmedabad, ‘Meanwhile elsewhere’, says, Mallika says, especially “sympathy and non -equal, as well as predicted”. For Yadavan, it is about facing the real contradictions with which we live. He said, “The way we chase the progress while erasing memory or when constructing the walls, pursuing me to reflect the strange truth of my time,” he shares.
While the dramatic piece is in progress, you have reflective words on the screen, allowing you to engage in an exercise that throws the question, but follows them with the answer, so you can communicate with your interior yourself, perhaps.
‘Why do we build only to forget?’
‘We build because we have dreams’.
‘What happens when chess is empty?’
‘Sports memory; It leaves the silence behind ‘.

‘Every day we bury the past and call it progress’ or a few rows like ‘high walls’, the more, they hide an internal debate, switch to understanding for reason and provoke the philosopher from within. Initially it examines the theme of the construction of unconventional dramatic performance cities, but the one who does better helps in search of itself, questioning someone’s purpose in a developed and rapidly changing world.
In a world divided between connections and disconnections, broke from distance and created through harmony, this immersive experience examines various aspects of life and life, making you surprised about your purpose and existence in the world.
A technically sound performance, ‘meanwhile elsewhere is not limited to the visual appeal, but fully completes the sound and music, presentation and visual, word and technology, integrate them to create a series of visual offerings depicting mood, feelings and situations. After an appropriate part of the hit show in Ahmedabad, Yaadavan and Mallika, they are working towards taking it to national and international stages.
