Nishi Prajapati’s takes stage with this heart wrenching act portraying the character of a girl returning from a party where she was raped. What does this girl go through after she has been subject to such a heinous act? What crosses her mind? Is there any solace or is her soul broken forever? A must watch act, this performance has a beautiful ending for our society.

Nishi recalling how this act was conceptualised, “I wanted to do something very different than normal and this concept stood out the most. Me and Suraj Sir (my acting coach at Actor Prepares) decided that the character would have a stronger impact on the audience if it were done sans any dialogue and through a layered expression of her anguish. Moments before I was to take the stage, I stood in a corner, backstage, recollecting my past experiences and driving myself to feel the hurt, pain and breakdown that my character would feel, a procedure I was taught by my acting coaches at Actor Prepares. That helped me channel all my emotions and resulted in me actually crying on stage and thus winning my audience who gave me a thunderous standing applause. It was a huge achievement for me.”
