Mumbai: Insider.in and Bhasha Centre, in collaboration with director Tanvi Shah, present ‘Unshared Childhood’, an immersive theatrical experience under their 'Manch' initiative. The performance will take place at Winding Road Studios, Titwala, on 14 & 15 September and 21 & 22 September.

‘Unshared Childhoods’, conceived and directed by Tanvi Shah, explores human desires and absence in an increasingly isolated world. It showcases eight unsent letters from across the globe, combined with live music, movement, and food to create a unique narrative.

The performance invites the audience to sit around a handmade patchwork quilt created by generational godhadi weavers, reflecting on their shared pasts. Inspired by party games, Marquez’s short stories, and the image of messages in bottles, the performance seeks to evoke empathy in an intimate setting.

After the show, participants will interact with the artists and carve telegrams onto clay tablets, recreating one of the oldest forms of expression. Attendees can have their clay pieces fired in a kiln. The experience also includes authentic Maharashtrian food for breakfast and lunch.

‘Unshared Childhoods’ premiered in 2019 in Glasgow and has since captivated audiences across Mumbai, performing in spaces like living rooms, art galleries, and rooftop terraces. Tickets for this immersive experience start at Rs 2799 and include pick-up and drop service from Titwala train station. Book now on https://www.insider.in.
