Description @en
Take a wild ride to paradise with the online performance of this new play by Indian Ink! This glorious production is inspired by Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer prize winning Denial of Death, and the vibrant, life–filled chaos of India’s most cosmopolitan city, Mumbai. Jacob Rajan delivers a dazzling solo performance as he channels seven characters, weaving the afterlife and a dash of Bollywood disco into the real-life mystery of India’s vanishing vultures.
A man trying desperately to avoid death is flung between limbo and his past, where a rebellious young woman holds the key that may guide him to paradise. Infused with serious laughter, exquisite puppetry, and inspired sound design, this show is guaranteed to blow your mind and melt your heart.
“We had such a blast creating the filmed version of this show! Justin and Jacob were very involved throughout, it was a true collaboration. The inventive staging of the live production gave us lots of opportunities to play with some unconventional camera angles, including an overhead shot that emphasizes Jacob’s character’s desperation as he struggles to escape purgatory, a dead vulture POV, (one of my personal favs), and plenty of other fun surprises for the audience at home!”—Cameron Anderson, Digital Content Director
