When an online platform for crowdsourced personal stories started receiving anonymous stories in their inbox that deserved a stage, they thought of coming up with a way in which the storyteller wouldn't have to worry about the consequences. And hence, Kahaaniya — Dark Room Edition — a fully curated storytelling show by Tape A Tape where the tellers share their stories in front of an audience in a dark room without revealing their identities, was born.

After a successful debut in the city a few months ago, they are back this Friday. "Over the last few years, we've realised how truly liberating it can be to share a personal story in front of people. However, some stories are complicated and sharing them is not always easy. Sometimes, sharing a story comes with its set of consequences. Storytellers feel liberated and empowered while the audience experiences something so unique and honest that they walk out with a fresh perspective," says co-founder Ali Hussain.
