Club Desire (Play)

01 July, 2014

Club Desire, written by Sapan Saran and directed by Sunil Shanbag, is an ambitious theatre production inspired by the French opera Carmen, by Georges Bizet. The story is set in contemporary Mumbai, where Bizet’s Carmen is a nightclub singer named Chahat. Don Jose becomes Jayam, a poet, and Escamillo a DJ named Abeer. The adaptation is a rediscovery of the classic, and questions the nature of love, tradition, modernity, freedom, possession, order and anarchy.
