Unravel, an improv theatre performance, hopes to encourage discussions on mental health

With no prior script, and dialogues created in front of live viewers, two-hour-long Unravel, staged on August 16, made an attempt to share the experience of those suffering from depression and other mental health issues.

Before entering the Amaltas Hall at India Habitat Centre, the audience were handed slips of paper to fill in information about their favourite songs and what makes them happy, on the condition of anonymity. This formed the premise of I Will Be Happy When… — where eight performers read out some of the answers — that was one of the many games that featured in the improv theatre performance Unravel, presented by Delhi-based theatre collective Kaivalya Plays.
