An uplifting story about love, life, family and mental health, Every Brilliant Thing, a play that has touched the hearts of many over the last five years, is on its last run. QTP Production is touring with the play across the country and will be performing the last run of the Bengaluru shows on July 7, at Shoonya Centre for Art and Somatic Practices, Lalbagh Road at 6.30 p.m. and July 8, at Ranga Shankara, J.P. Nagar, at 3.30 p.m. and 7.30 p.m.
Every Brilliant Thing is a live participative performance for ages 16 and above. This moving and intimate piece, directed by Quasar Thakore Padamsee, invites the audience to celebrate the joy found in everyday objects. A unique experience encourages everyone present to meet and interact with each other and the performer, and in doing so, take the story forward.
Performed by actor and theatremaker Vivek Madan, the play starts with the story of a seven-year-old boy and his hospitalised mother. As his ailing mother finds it hard to be happy, the young boy makes a list of things to cheer her up. Every Brilliant Thing was first produced by Paines Plough and Pentabus Theatre in June 2013 at Ludlow Fringe Festival in the UK. QTP Production first staged this production in 2019 as a live participative performance.
