Between October and December last year, Bombay Theatre Company (BTC) put together a theatre festival where they staged 10 plays of 10 minutes each on Instagram (IG). The event saw 20 actors from around the world participate in it. The concept proved to be a successful one and all the plays were saved on BTC’s IG page. It was then that Sarah Congress, a New-York based writer, discovered them while browsing the hashtag #virtualtheatre. Having liked what she saw, Congress reached out to BTC founder Raveesh Jaiswal for a potential collaboration, which is finally materialising today.
