Camera Obscuras – A Play by Vinay Sharma

God switches on the TV to view a world that’s violently entertaining, dreadfully comic and deadly serious. A play upon our times, camera obscuras is like everything you’ve always seen. Two comic performing faces reach a remote space where they begin ‘playing’ for each other. One decides to play God, the other takes on the role of TV. In the course of their improvisations, they discover other faces as TV shows God the ‘real’ world. The stories they tell are malignant and violent. They affect the relationship between the performers and their belief in each other. The play looks at the illusion of god in the mind of man and the hallucination of man in the mind of God, at the place of chance, violence, performance, action and reaction in our lives. It queries what it means to be real, to be faithful, to be human. It’s a comedy till it turns dark.
