Walking down Arun Kolatkar’s Lane – A Performance using dialogue, verse and music to explore the reclusive poet’s mind.

This is based on a single meeting between a woman journalist and Arun Kolatkar, one of the finest contemporary poets of India, at a restaurant in Kolatkar’s favorite Kala Ghoda area in old Mumbai.

Years after that meeting, when the journalist learns of Kolatkar’s death, she recalls how she first heard of the man in her girlhood, read his poems in her college days, and how deeply they affected her perspective. She trances the events that led to her encounter with the reclusive man, and relives her interview with him,. As they talk, the poems come alive and are performed against a sounds cape of music. Their talk begins with wariness and some suspicion, but ends on a moment of intimacy.
