Catch the next performance -
Waiting for Naseer is a darkly comic, philosophical theatre piece set in the iconic Prithvi café. Two actors—both dead—await a ticket to Naseeruddin Shah’s new play, but only one can enter. As they bicker, reminisce, and reflect, the play delves into themes of passion, futility, and the love for theatre. Through laughter and sorrow, they unveil their deepest desires, revealing the timeless struggle of an artist’s soul. Infused with existential undertones and Camusian absurdism, it’s a tribute to acting, storytelling, and life's transient nature—where even in death, the desire to perform and belong never fades.
