‘Jannat Central’: Of friendship and dance…

Written and directed by Trishla Patel, ‘Jannat Central’ is about two girls, J and Nutty, who are as different as chalk and cheese but get along really well. As J relives her memories through dance, she is trying to perfect her dance and get work. Her friend and roommate Nutty supports her all through while struggling with even the most mundane of tasks.However, the arrival of a long lost friend Bobby throws Nutty’s cocooned world into a flux bringing her face to face with her demons.
Things change further with the arrival of a dance teacher. The common thread between the two girls is dance – it binds them as well as separates them. It is through dance that the audience gets to explore the complex relationship between a father and daughter.

J's struggle to come to terms with reality is a thrilling, psychological journey explored through dance, one that eventually unravels the true meaning of 'Jannat'. The play stars Ankita Dolawat, Sandip Soparrkar, Jaya Virlley, Anna Ador and Mithun Purandare and will be staged next week at Prithvi Theatre, Juhu.
