Chains: Live in Concert (2018)

Chains follows the life of a woman named Vichitra, and the story is narrated by Solitude. In the first act, Vichitra is shown as a vivacious sixteen-year-old who is much admired for her beauty. Vichitra falls in love with Adhvik, a young boy with Aspergers Syndrome. The love story comes to an end in the face of extreme reactions from Vichitra's parents, and she is sent far away from her home. The second part showcases Vichitra, now in her middle age, as a mother, wife and daughter in law. Her days are monotonous and routine, but she finds her escape in the night when she dreams of being a dance diva under the spotlight. Her real and dream worlds start to merge, until one day she is yanked back when she starts hearing voices of her family beseeching her to return to her 'real' self. The final act presents Vichitra in her advanced age, fighting solitude. The show ends with Vichitra accepting Solitude as her lover and vowing to spend her life with him, even as her family and neighbors conclude that senility has caused her to reach the limits of sanity.
