‘Black Box’ was born as a response to the nationwide lockdown imposed by the pandemic that spared no one. The play further explores the idea of home and the emotions the word generates, drawing from the images of people going home, trudging along highways and on rail tracks with a trunk on their back, homeless migrants, transportation shut down, and everything immobilized.
“The play is a collaboration between actor Vansh Bhardwaj and myself. We tried to explore various texts, but the sense of incarceration of being locked down did not leave us. The fear of the virus, the loneliness of being ‘home alone’, the desperation to reach out, to speak, to connect, were the elements that clung to every exercise that we did”, says Neelam Mansingh, the director of ‘Black Box’.
