Shilpa (Flinn Works)
Meet Shilpa, an attractive, interactive mobile phone app that has been projected to be the most popular app of 2017. Created using the latest technology, Shilpa will sing for you – in flesh. She will sing the songs you want to hear with her sugary voice. Best of all, she behaves exactly the way women are supposed to behave in the eyes of men - until the next update is released.
Starring singer-actress MD Pallavi, this one woman show is a witty, humorous and satirical interrogation of what it is like being a woman in the entertainment industry today. The Indo-German collaboration explores the realms of digital dramaturgy, repetition and user choices to create a hybrid form of theatre-meets-performance art.
