A landlord orders village wells filled with sand, leaving the people who depend on them to confront the consequences. That absurd command drives Swang: Jas ki Tas, scheduled at Mumbai’s NCPA Experimental Theatre on Sunday, November 15.
Directed by Akshay Singh Thakur, the production uses song, performance and social satire to tell a story about arbitrary authority. The villagers take their complaint to Badi-Maaji, setting up the next turn in a narrative whose humour comes from the distance between a ruler’s wishes and everyday needs.
The booking listing identifies the company’s region as Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The performance is in Bundeli and Hindi, with English subtitles.
The show begins at 7 pm. NCPA lists public tickets at ₹500 and ₹750, inclusive of GST; member prices are ₹450 and ₹675. BookMyShow specifies entry for ages 16 and above and says late entry is not permitted. Its age guidance differs from NCPA’s page, so anyone booking for a younger viewer should confirm eligibility with the venue. Tickets remained on sale when checked on November 14.
