Bangalore Little Theater is celebrating Vijay Padaki’s 80th birthday with a three-month stage extravaganza. Padaki is known in the theater community as a trainer, mentor, actor, writer, director and designer. He has written more than 50 original plays in English, performed worldwide to large audiences. His works, spanning multiple genres, styles, periods, and forms, are also known for highlighting many socio-political issues and for being relevant to the zeitgeist of the current era.
After staging three full productions and specials in prestigious venues around the city, BLT now presents the premiere of their penultimate production, Footprints. The play is about a renowned writer who receives a prestigious international award for an innovative novel. It is about a group of intellectuals working on a top-secret project to develop appropriate technology by which nature’s first and last error must be eliminated – the human species. The group is convinced that the future of the rest of the planet, as well as all meticulously co-evolved life forms, is far more important than human survival. The writer is kidnapped by a fringe group of environmental activists in an effort to get him to sign a campaign. The intelligence agency is put into operation to save the writer. However, the agency also gets wind of a real project by a real group of people as depicted in the novel. Their interest in the rescue operation is really to catch the project group so they have first control over the technology. At the end of the tale, we wonder if the technology has ever been activated. Presented as a dramatic tale, the play draws on many solid scientific facts in evolutionary biology and the human predisposition to unrealistic consumption patterns. The play was directed by Arundhati Raja.
