Synopsis

'Vesha' is the story of a conflict between a father and a son in a Bhavai troupe, as both decide to stage different Veshas on the same night. Father stages the Vesha of Asaait Thakar, the founder of Bhavai, set in the fourteenth century. Son stages a modern vesha of two lower-caste cops and their encounter with a Patidar youth after the Patidar agitation for reservation in 2015. The play oscillates between the two to probe into a fundamental question: How can one claim an identity without the stigma attached to it?
