Crossover Stories is delighted to bring you its maiden theatre event in Sydney. The five short plays written by critically acclaimed writer Avijit Sarkar are developed by five directors, and performed by 27 actors of diverse backgrounds. The production opens on 17 February for three shows only.
These stories aim at stimulating conversations around the evolving paradigms of marriage, sexuality, love, brotherhood, religion, and social cohesion through the lens of South Asian culture. With this production, Crossover Stories flirts with the definition of art as put by Ceaser A Cruz when he says, ‘Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.’
Before casting, all 27 actors went through three gruelling rounds of auditions. The five Australian directors bring their experienced observations on culture, religion, and social fabric into play in these crisp portrayals.
“ These stories are an unadulterated telling of the political, religious and social dogmas prevalent in our society, yet with a humorous undertone”
— Avijit Sarkar
As Sydney embraces live performances again in 2023, these five open-ended short plays are a perfect catalyst to reconnect with friends and family. Avijit Sarkar says, “These stories are an unadulterated telling of the political, religious and social dogmas prevalent in our society, yet with a humorous undertone.”
Curator Taufeeq Sheikh adds, “These stories do come with certain risks associated but a greater risk is to not tell them. Crossover Stories aims at creating a safe space for storytellers to be unapologetically true to their expression.”
