The Special Mention List: Part II

This is the second part of the Special Mention List (the first part can be read here) compiled by our resident theatre analyst Vikram Phukan to acknowledge performances from plays that displayed the gumption to spearhead the return to theatres in an uncertain year.

The Special Mention List: Part 1

Year-end lists are meant to come out around the new year, but this month does mark a year since lockdown restrictions were lifted in April 2022, after the second wave. That is as good a reason as any to take time out to acknowledge performances from plays that displayed the gumption to spearhead the return to theatres in an uncertain year. Our resident theatre analyst Vikram Phukan calls it the Special Mention List (which we will present in two parts consisting of 8 performers each), and he has been compiling these since 2012.

While this is in no way an exhaustive account of performance in India nor is it any kind of top-of-the-pops, we do hope it reminds us all to tell more stories and go to the theatre more often.

We consider this article to be one of the most significant spotlights Probably Relevant has done since we began. In the age of pointless hostility towards minorities, arguments in the supreme court about the recognition of basic humanity and a global epidemic of loneliness, running an organization focussed on intimacy and relationships seems almost like a righteous rebellion.

So we offer this write-up on The Intimacy Curator and Aili Seghetti to help all our readers explore what it means to discover yourself through lust, longing and letting go. Read on to know more about counselling and coaching services you can access, events and workshops as well as some insights into consent, open marriages, kink, selfcare and more.

Details on how to book sessions included.

The Art of Absurdity: Resurgence of Dadaism through Gen-Z memes.

Digital natives today are being flooded by unnatural amounts of information and content at a rate and quality that has never been seen before. You can find content and information on the nichest of subjects, particularly visual content, and our ability to understand and decode images has increased manifold. In this sea of visual content, memes, particularly Gen-Z memes, occupy a special trench of their own.

Gen-Z memes are infamous for seeming like they have little to no meaning, and look terrible. Unlike most memes, they don’t attempt to be directly funny, and the images and texts often have no connection to each other. All in all, absurd. These characteristics might sound similar to those of dada artwork, from the Dadaist Movement of the early 20th century. Read on as Sakshi Sadashiv explores the cultural and contextual elements that led to each movement, and draw interesting parallels between the two.
