Já International Theatre kicks off its autumn season with the double bill ‘VORTEX’, featuring the English language plays ‘Death and the Maiden’ and ‘Nightfall’, adapted and directed by Suresh Nampuri.

NIGHTFALL
An original sci-fi play paying homage to the literary creations of Isaac Asimov, the play tracks the last days on a planet called Lagaash that has seven suns that never set at the same time. However, a once-in-10,000-years phenomenon is about to occur: all the suns will set simultaneously and Lagaash will know night. Fear, denial, resistance and ultimately hope.

DEATH AND THE MAIDEN
This adaptation of Ariel Dorfman’s play brings into collision three ageing survivors of a long-gone fascist regime who, in a night of drama, are forced to come to terms with the choices, sins, and compulsions that crouch in the dark of their oppressive past.
