How a small format show can make a big difference. Plus 4 more must-catch events Till : August 30 Where Saffron Art Gallery, third floor, Industry Manor, Appasaheb Marathe Marg, Prabhadevi. Call: 24364113 In Ved Gupta's sculptures, the powerful and corrupt have been portrayed as mutated or dwarfed caricatures, while the oppressed figure of the labourer is naked, elongated and romanticised in his sensual beauty. By playing with size and character representations, Gupta mocks at the existing social and economic hierarchies of our system, through his small format show of sculptures, currently on display. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/aug/ved.jpg" border="5" /> Present-day themes of gluttony, corruption and oppression caused by unchecked power are central to Gupta's work. The miniature figures create an illusion of physical magnitude, thus making a four-inch sculpture seem bigger than it really is. Allow yourself a moment of introspection on the society, we are a part of.

This statement by a girl who was hiding from her family, because she dared to go against tradition and marry of her own accord, inspired the theatre group Essay Communications. Lekin ufffd Phir Bhi ufffd is a rare theatrical work that raises questions about contemporary issues plaguing the society. The theatre group is known for raising relevant social issues from time to time through various plays, including Lakeerein, Atthaniyan and Kharaashein. "It is very important to talk about honour killings at this point of time because it's a relevant issue. It is sad that the very people, who a girl has grown up and spent all her life with, find it easier to kill her than support her decision The system around you compels you to kill your own blood. How can familial love turn against a girl because she takes a single decision?" questions Salim Arif, from Essay Communications. In the play, two lovers from the same village are sacrificed in the name of honour by their kin. When an eyewitness account threatens to unravel the delicate structure of the village, the witness finds her own life in danger.
