Ho Sakta Hai Do Aadmi Do Kursiyaan

Shanta Gokhale writes about Padatik’s Ho Sakta Hai…:

What holds the scenes together is the emotional thread of love, loss and absence that runs through them. Structurally they are held by the rhythm, produced by single-actor scenes alternating with two-actor scenes, each brought to a peremptory end with the striking of the wind chimes. The language, light as a feather, tough, sparse or richly resonant, contains them like a net of elastic. In a couple of scenes it becomes a sharp weapon in the hands of the characters, who tear themselves apart with it, till they stand before us bare and bleeding.
