Now might be a good time to set out on an emotional journey with Nine Select, the latest offering from the Tantra Theatre Group (TTG), as part of their captivating Random Tales series. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Navaratra, this intimate performance invites you to explore the depths of human emotion through six powerful monologues, each inspired by one of the nine fundamental feelings from the Natyashastra.

Imagine settling into a cosy living room, surrounded by fellow theatre lovers, as the air crackles with anticipation. Tania Roychowdhury, one of the creative minds behind TTG, explains that their choice to focus on six specific emotions stems from a desire to highlight the nuances of each feeling. “We wanted to strip away the distractions of traditional theatre,” she says, “and create a space where audiences can connect deeply with the stories and each other.”
