Anat presents, 'Characters Unboxed'

A woman recounts her most lustful memory, a man who feels obligated to save women around him, an unapologetic girl talks about her responsibilities on having a child , a youthful boy illustrates loss… and all these from actors who would probably not be cast for these roles or find challenging to attempt. We defined the characters based on the conversations we had with the actors, through a week long improvisation process. 

Characters Unboxed, is an attempt  to break the idea of stereotypes & misrepresentation not just as actors but as storytellers as well. 

We collaborated with 10 actors living and struggling to make art in the bustling metropolis of Bombay. These actors are casually deemed 'not fit' by the casting standards of the entertainment industry. We wish to break this mould and give a new perspective to auditions, as a collaborative process rather than a superficial one.

The theme for this edition of Characters Unboxed series is 'Suppression of Desire'. 

...

Actor:
Inspired by art and stories, Shreya Sarkar is always questioning what is right? What is reality? She loves to make human friends who will engage her in a friendly debate, since her plant and animal friends are not that challenging. (Sometimes she secretly cries in the bathroom, because the world is so unfair!) Hoping maybe, just maybe someday the whole world will realize that peace triumphs war and we can all live as one.

Character:
Anjana Sen is a rich spoilt brat, who refuses to grow up. Suddenly, she has found herself at a crossroads by getting pregnant at the age of 21. She is planning to keep the child which will cause upheavals in her life and those of her parents. But Anjana being Anjana is oblivious to this all and she has made it her mission to keep the child. The reasons, we will discover along the scene.
