The day before Heinrich Heine, a German scholar, poet and essayist died on 17th February, 1856 said, "God will pardon me, it is his trade."
But what happens when God decides to step down from his pedestal after twenty eight centuries.
We mortals often turn to God only to obtain the impossible. He is so bored and tired and sick of the rituals, century after century. He also wants change. He wants to come out of the dark corner of the temple and live like an ordinary being.
God's descent and his inability to find a job lay bares the problems faced by the common people and the devices they have to adopt to stay afloat in the social mire.
Mandir Mein Hadtal, a hilarious comedy, is Hindi adaptation of Marathi play "Vithal To Aala Aala" by Sh P L Deshpande with subtle message presented by KissaGo's after our highly acclaimed productions - Jee Huzoor, Kamla, Ilhaam and Masala Chai.

Bitter Chocolate is a book written by journalist and author Pinki Virani, published in 2000.
We have adapted several case studies from the book and constructed a narrative-based
show with subtle performances.
Bitter Chocolate provides an unapologetic and honest look at the rampant problem of child
sexual abuse in our country. Both the book and the author Pinki Virani have won the National
Award. This book is the first of its kind in the Indian sub-continent not only on the subject of child
sexual abuse, but also including previously unrevealed case studies and long term side effects.
It has broken Indian publishing records in non-fiction by recently celebrating its silver jubilee
edition. Pinki Virani has also been lauded internationally for being the first person, and woman,
in the Indian sub-continent to stand up publicly and bravely talk about the sexual abuse in her
childhood which included incest and rape. She has worked with three central governments
and bureaucrats to ensure a set of strict laws against child sexual abuse. The law Protection of
Children from Sexual Offenses Act passed in 2012, includes four of her suggestions.

Democracy behind Bars:GN Saibaba
Thu Nov 30, 5:00 PM
Azad Mann
Democracy behind bars - A case study of Prof GN Saibaba
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The recent heart wrenching letter written by Professor GN Saibaba to his partner Vasantha haven't received any mainstream media's attention. The 'callous' attitude of the state and civil society on this issue not only questions the democratic values but also humanity in general. Constitution guarantees that every citizen has right to have political beliefs of their nature. Convicting a 90% disabled person based on the political beliefs that he possesses is extremely undemocratic and unconstitutional.
Professor GN Saibaba, along with 5 others were convinced for allegedly having links with and possessing Maoist literature. Recent letter written by him underlines the denial of basic facilities in the Nagpur jail for his survival. This also questions the inhumane correctional and rehabilitation facilities and direness of prisoner's rights.
Therefore it becomes important to discuss these incidents in the light of how modern democratic states suppress the people for just possessing dissenting political beliefs .
Azad mann in collaboration with Lamaakan is inviting you to the panel discussion on "Democracy behind bars___ A case study of Prof GN Saibaba". Panelists include Committee for the Defence and Release of GN Saibaba chairman Professor Haragopal, Professor Padmaja Shaw, CRPP general Secretary Balla Ravindranath. We look forward to have an intensive discussion.

Mubarak ho! Kuch hua hai
Sat Dec 2, 8:00 PM
Kaalpanik Theatre (Naren Yadav)
Adapted from Arnold Bennett's "Question of sex", it is an act which displays buffoonery at its best. The story revolves around a ridiculous promise made by Gopal's uncle to him and how he tries to trick his uncle into keeping up with his promise by tweaking the most important condition on which it was based! Absurd yet hilarious to see how this family plays with words and emotions and finally come to a conclusion. Or wait, maybe not!

A well versed, astute & flamboyant school master is married to a very demotivated woman who keeps cribbing about their middle class status. Be it the art of poetry, content writing or grammatical intellect, this man posseses it all. But at times knowledge & talent is not all that matters. Wealth does, and it does big time. Knowing this, our pauperous teacher couple aspires to make it big in some way or the 'other'.

Play 2: Hazaar Rupaiye Hongey Kya
An IT Professional with an unstable job takes life at its best, without caring about the future & forgetting the basic tenets his parents had taught him – “Stitch your coat according to your cloth”. Credit Cards, EMIs and many other gimmicks of the financial world lure him into an never ending paradox of Debt ; without his realization, reason being the fact that he wants to have that lifestyle which is beyond his means, wants to prove to the people that he is not a bore. Events after events, this debts pile up, ultimately breaking havoc on the day he is fired like many others, without any proper reasoning. Caught amidst various tensions pilling up in life, he chooses the worst option – to give up his life! Who was responsible? Why does it happen?
