<p> 786, a new play that will be staged at NCPA next week, debunks some myths about superstitions</p>
There are largely two kinds of people in the world — those who believe in superstitions and those who don’t. Interestingly enough, even among the superstitious lot, there are some who are slightly more cynical than the rest.
Superstition is a subjective concept, but does it hold true in today’s modern world that is largely dominated by science and technology? Mumbai-based theatre company Out of the Box productions, aims to explore this concept in their new play titled 786. The production, which premiered at Thespo last month, is a collection of three short stories — about a girl’s obsession with number seven, a bus stop’s superstition towards Bus number eight and a writer trying to finish his sixth story.
