“Disclosure Day” and Anthropocentrism
Disclosure Day asks us to question humanity's role in the universe but falls victim to the same assumptions of centrality.

In the play 'American Album,' we explore the lives of Indian families who send their children to America for education and a prosperous life, bridging the gap between the two worlds. The play delves into the cultural contrast faced by American-born children of Indian immigrants, highlighting the struggle to connect with their roots. It follows a family's journey from Chicago to India, questioning if the visit will reshape their kid's perceptions. Written by Rajan Mohadikar and directed by Purushottam Berde, this thought-provoking play offers a captivating narrative, illuminating the complexities of identity and heritage.
