Prayas Theatre’s 20th anniversary celebration.
Prayas presented a limited season collection of its most loved scenes from the past and a look into the future.
The show borrowed its name from the Pitara — an old attic trunk filled with mismatched but meaningful keepsakes. In olden times, travelling artistes carried their costumes and props in a Pitārā. Prayas’ anniversary season channeled this sense of rediscovery.
