Synopsis:
The play “MITALI” is a poignant tale of love & loneliness. A lonely man with no friends or acquaintances wanders the city at night time animating each street corner and buildings with character. Then he experiences an adventure that lasts for four nights. On the first night, the dreamer meets a woman in tears, bravely approaches her as he has never approached anyone before and consoles her. Although her heart beats for someone else, she befriends him and these two spend four nights getting to know each other.
The improbable union between the two characters approaches in an unbearable crescendo until the final moment, when the story ends as abruptly as it had begun. And for the dreamer suddenly everything seems lifeless & meaningless.
The glow of his dreamy nights has been turned off. The view from his window and the house across the way suddenly seems “old & dingy”.
The disappearance of an unexpected sunbeam reinforces the dreamer’s loneliness and distance with them. The prospect of a life spent recalling “moments of blissful happiness”.
“My God! isn’t it sufficient for the man’s whole life?”
