What do a Tamasha artist and a bookbinder have in common? Both have long-suffered censorship in their on-stage avatar. While Vijay Tendulkar's landmark Marathi play, Sakharam Binder, managed to achieve cult status since it was first staged in 1972, the Tamasha artist has all but lost the rebellious streak that was at the core of the art form. Director Sunil Shanbag believes it is time to question censorship official and unofficial and ask audiences and fellow artists to acknowledge it. This week, he does it with his "theatre work" S*x, M*rality and Cens*rship, a play that premiers at Prithvi Theatre this evening.
