Karl Marx in Kalbadevi (Synopsis)
In this interactive performance, 'Karl Marx' arrives in present day Kalbadevi, Mumbai, India, after 150 years of his death, with the intention of clearing his name of all false allegations against him as a ‘Marxist.’
His observation on the politics, population and prevalent situation in India leave him flustered, reminiscing of Gandhi while he takes us through his life in SoHo with his wife Jenny and his children. the ones who survived and those who didn’t. He insists that he isn’t here to entertain you, and yet he uses all tropes to keep you listening.
Entertaining, informative, hard hitting. This performance will comfort the disturbed and disturb the ones safely ensconced in their comfort zone.
