CHENNAI: As a part of their one-year anniversary celebrations, the city’s black box (a black squared room where artists perform), Medai – The Stage has come up with a special line-up of events starting on October 27 and ending on October 30.

Ranging from Q&A sessions to a stand-up show, the space has a unique curation planned for art lovers in the city.

Speaking to DT Next, B Charles, founder of Medai says, “During my travel to Europe and the US, I saw the sort of black boxes they have. Their art spaces are so advanced in terms of tech support and are also very diverse. You find people doing all sorts of shows like theatre, stand-up performances, music shows, and improv; the space is able to cater to them all.

“When we look at Chennai, the city was facing issues with spaces. We had this sudden surge of talent but no platform to showcase it. I wanted to create a safe space for artists that matched or attempted to match the standards of a black box we see abroad.”

Charles says that it is crucial for a space to open itself to showcase all art forms and not limit itself to only a particular art form. He says that way art will flourish and be diversified.

“Medai is able to cater to all sorts of performances and that’s what we strive to do by enhancing the output production to production. The city has been very kind to us and we have always been occupied with some show or the other. To thank the city for the love we’ve been receiving, we have curated a special line-up,” he says.

The line-up features Baradwaj Rangan’s ‘Live with BR’ – a Q&A session about cinema on October 27, Apoorva Krishna’s ‘Intuition’ – a live concert with Aman Mahajan, Bruthuva Caleb, Sumesh Narayanan, and Ramkumar on October 28, Karthik Kumar’s ‘Aansplaining’ on October 29, and Jagan-Mervyn’s stand-up show on October 30.
