What defines the Modern Indian Woman? ‘Dolls’ delves into 7 personal stories – part real, part fiction all through 7 women and the sum of their experiences. Sometimes we seek way too much inspiration from idols and heroes at a distance. We forget the everyday challenges, conflicts women face, and more importantly, overcome. In different styles of storytelling, the play attempts to weave in the spirit of women – each of their stories, symbolized by a doll, that brings forth humour, pathos, wit, passion, grit and a myriad of emotions which we as a society have been ignorant of. Their stories may not seem special, but they ring true to the audience, and they experience it everyday – but it’s special to them, the actors, as they live it – everyday!

Ikhaya: The Artisanal Space

Away from the mainstream holiday destinations, away from the pomp and crowd, people are yearning for a space to be just themselves and one with nature. A space that leaves you inspired, one that lets you share, and connect to be part of a community of like-minded individuals. �

Ikhaya is that artisanal experimental space in the heart of the city that presents itself as an empty canvas; free to its viewers interpretation of their whims and fancies.

Ikhaya is all about talented individuals showcasing their work: a platform that is organic in its essence, giving artists of all kinds a space that encourages their creative vision. From plays, talks, workshops, brand launches, bespoke fashion pop-up shops, networking events, presentations, private or corporate meetings, screenings, exhibitions, photo expos or private celebrations, Ikhaya is that recreational blank page waiting to be transformed into a work of your dreams.

Our space can also be rented for parties of upto 75 people. Our F&B partners at Soho can offer you competitively priced packages to choose from, to fulfil your culinary appetite while making it easy and affordable at the same time.

We aim to provide you with a flexible venue where you feel at ease and can let your creative side guide you to places one only imagines to be in. So walk in, brush your hands over some beautiful things & relish the gentle sunlight that spills through the trees in this colonial home, rich in history and character.
