Two likeable thieves, Kena and Becha, jump into a river to escape being caught. After a routine heist goes awry, they jump into a river to avoid a chasing mob. They wash up on the shores of a land, far far beyond anything they have ever known! The extraordinarily naive residents of this country are nonchalant about personal possessions and this has Kena and Becha rubbing their hands in glee! Finally, after years of dedicated thievery without luck, Kena and Becha can get to reap their rewards.
Badal Sircar, one of India’s major playwrights gave up the proscenium theatre, and begun acting in natural and created environment spaces alike, in small halls where seating could be arranged and rearranged in different formations to define and redefine the auditorium and the acting area; and in parks and open spaces almost anywhere. Prayas brought alive this arrangement at TAPAC to honour Sircar.
Prayas also performed Beyond the Land of Hattamala for the Red Cross Pakistan Monsoon Floods Appeal (2010) & Random Acts of Christmas (2010).
