Mumbai Playbackers, which is a part of EMPURPLE, has been performing the unique improvisational art of Playback Theatre since the last 6 years.
Playback Theatre, a unique and captivating form of improvisational theatre, has emerged as a powerful medium for storytelling, empathy, and community building. This innovative art form allows individuals to share their personal stories, experiences, and emotions, which are then brought to life by a skilled troupe of actors. The result is an intimate and cathartic performance that celebrates the human experience while fostering connection and understanding among participants and audiences alike.
Through its innovative and interactive approach, this art form continues to create a space where personal narratives are celebrated, emotions are shared, and connections are forged.
