Your new show is based on fantasy. Tell us more about it.
The musical show is based on a very simple story which is set in a hotel named Poo Pot Hotel which is haunted by Wizwits — wizards and witches.
What is the inspirationIJ
We have previously done two shows Zangoora and Jhumroo. We wanted to create a different kind of show which could be primarily enjoyed by children. I had this design which later materialised when lushin and Bubbles approached me with the script. I promptly gave a nod to the show.
Do you see Kingdom of Dreams as revival of circus and the advent of Broadway-style stage acts in IndiaIJ
I have seen musicals and Broadways across the globe and I feel KOD is at par with the international standards. I believe Zangoora is one of its kinds in the entire world. In India and across the world, two art forms are dying: one is puppetry and the other being circus.
We are trying to merge the different art forms and bring it on one stage. Though animal circus is banned, we are determined to fuse human circus into other plays.
How is KOD contributing to the theatreIJ
Theatre is an eternal art form. I have observed that the market has changed over a period of time. To meet with the growing demands, we just look forward to improvisation through the help of technology.
What are the other projects in the pipelineIJ
At the moment, we are working on two new projects. We want to tap the junior audiences; Chhota Bheem will be our next venture for children.
