In this episode, Pradeep Vaiddya talks about his work in the period of corona pandemic. Since the very beginning of the pandemic, theatre is one of fields which is worst hit by this situation and the lockdowns imposed. Theatres of any kind are air-conditioned, closed spaces where the initial research indicates more risk for infection. So, though all other establishments are opening up slowly, theatres are still waiting for the performers and the audience. Naturally, all those who are full time theatre artists are struggling with no idea when they’ll be working again. Of course, Pradeep Dada has suffered too. But, in this pandemic, the medical student and enthusiast in him has come up to help him and he is working on multiple levels, may it be statistical data collection, surveys, social media or his recent-most initiative, called KoPra Manch, Covid Pratyogik Munch. Listen to his take on this whole situation and most importantly, his relentless efforts to keep his theatre alive in this difficult period in ‘Awaiting the Curtain Call’.
