Exploring the dangers of conformism
View(s):Mind Adventures returns with ‘After Class’
Mind Adventures returns to the stage this year after a short hiatus with ‘After Class’. Actor and director Ruvin de Silva (Nine and Starving Children for Noir Theatre Festival 2011) directs his first full-length performance – ‘After Class’. The play is an original script written by Jithendra Seneviratne, a recent graduate of the MFA (Theatre – Interdisciplinary) programme at Sarah Lawrence College, NY.
‘After Class’ explores the dangers of conformism: an issue that dominates the lives of young people across the world, and questions the norms and social trappings by which these lives are framed. It asks questions about identity, ambition and true desire through a portrayal of several young characters, full of aspiration, fighting to create their own voice and have it heard.
The play features Eshara Silva, Thanuja Jayawardena, Brandon Ingram, Pasan Ranaweera, Gehan Blok, Sulakshani Perera, Jehan Gunasekara, Rebecca Munasinghe, Niren Ranasinghe, Dinesha Senaratne and Anuk De Silva.
After Class is produced by Tracy Holsinger, Founder and Artistic Director of Mind Adventures. It will go on boards from February 22 – 24, 2013 at the British School in Colombo (Elvitigala Mawatha). Tickets will be on sale at the British School. Follow their Facebook group (facebook.com/mindadventures) or blog (daytripper.wordpress.com) for more information.
