It requires a free or subscription Kollaborate account. I really never thought it would become so endearing to the audience.This is a cut-down version of CinePlay for use with the Kollaborate cloud workflow platform from Digital Rebellion. They are my adrenalin and I get a boost every time I go to a show and I see them react. The reactions range from saying ‘it’s a revolution’, to ‘the best thing they have seen’, to ‘the greatest time that they had’. “The audience absolutely loves it, and that is what keeps us going. We want to support them and enhance their revenues, their visibility and their fan following.” ![]() I think digital is a reality and I feel CinePlay is a friend of theatre so theatre practitioners should not be worried. When they announced something like T-20 cricket, Gavaskar was on NDTV news and was completely going ballistic about how the Cricket Board was destroying cricket because this was just not cricket and today he does commentary for the IPL and was even Chairman of the BCCI for a brief period. The only example I can give is of Sunil Gavaskar. This is not theatre, and I like the fact that they feel that way. On the response from the theatre directors and productions Today people in France are watching our play because we’ve got it subtitled in French!” Now, we’re starting with English and Hindi theatre, but we’ll go to regional theatre like Marathi, Gujarati and Punjabi, because by subtitling it, we can break the language barrier. We are shooting six plays of Vijay Tendulkar who is probably one of the greatest playwrights in India from the 70s. Some of the plays are very iconic like Dance Like a Man and Aadhe Adhure. It’s got a story, some drama, elements that will make it engaging for a viewer on screen. One is of course, the narrative lends itself to converting it to a CinePlay. If I were to shout into the camera, people would think I’m crazy!” I’m shouting because there are a thousand people in the audience. When theatre is produced, the lighting and acting is for a live audience. Therefore, we have done this only for theatrical productions, which have a story, dialogue, characters or movement which can be shot specifically. There are some performances that lend themselves to recording and an opera or ballet may, because it’s got a lot of music. We add a lot of cinema techniques to this whole concept, to give you a completely different experience. Recording a play would not work. We take many takes, different angles, we light it for camera and the acting is for camera. We shoot it like cinema, where it’s shot over several days. “The plays are shot specifically for CinePay in a studio. We’re not recreating it but we are trying to complement theatre by giving you a richer experience of that.” When you watch it on television or when you watch it in a stadium, it’s actually the same match but gives you two completely different experiences. People said it was a very different experience not comparable to live theatre, but they caught things they had missed in the live production. ![]() Surprisingly, when we did Between the Lines and showed it to our friends from theatre and cinema and a general audience, they loved the experience. “The first thing we did was to experiment with our own production. On the challenges of adapting theatre for screen And then Nandita said, ‘Why don’t you call it CinePlay?’ And I thought that was a great way of coining the word because it really communicates what I want to say. You know it’s theatre because the way the script and the story is told is very theatrical, very dramatic. So that’s when I thought about merging the two. We try to do it here and it does not work very well because the grammar of theatre and the grammar of cinema is completely different. Why not capture it in an interesting way and make sure that people could watch it without these constraints? There is some history of people recording live theatre. There is great content, story and entertainment in theatre. Other theatre producers faced the same problem: being geographically locked into the city that they started in. We got so many invitations from all over the world, which we had to turn them down for logistic issues or mismatched budgets. Originally, the idea was to do maybe 10 shows and then close the production. ![]() “I did a theatre production with Nandita (Das) called Between the Lines, in 2012. ![]()
