T.S Eliot’s 'The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock' inquires into the disillusionment of a man with the times he is living in. Derived from this literary masterpiece, our performance uses the interplay of the human body to understand the poem’s protagonist and the structures surrounding him.
In the attempts to find Prufrock inside the performers' bodies, residing alongside their own anxieties, the performance ends up creating multiple Prufrocks.
All cramped inside this overwhelming world of ours. The fractured narrative is threaded delicately by swift movements through urban landscapes.
The Metro | The Office | The Mall | Home | The Pub become witnesses to Prufrock's constant attempts to be.

ABOUT TSC:
We are a collective of theatre practitioners in Delhi, creating possibilities for a new vocabulary of performance making to emerge from the artists of the city. An accessible pedagogy, which enables the understanding of theatre as an art form and its application, is intrinsic to the Collective’s being. Our work challenges the very socio-political canvas it is derived from. Probing and problematizing, we begin conversations.
Our previous works are 'Dastaan-e-Bhookh (Winner of 7 Thespo Awards) and Pascualnama (Performed in collaboration with Instituto Cervantes).
