Mezok It is a multi-narrative performance that reveals the complexity of human nature. “Mezok is the name of a makeup, a makeup mountain, a mountain, and see you before you see it,” said playwright and director Jyoti Dogra.
Mumbai-based Jyoti Dogra has 20 years of solo and original work, her credit Mezok It was her first time writing, directing and producing ensemble works. “It starts with the exploration around the table, from there, building a world hanging between reality and abstract,” she said of the conception and conceptualization of the work.
“I’ve been dealing with all kinds of furniture for years and somehow I’m fascinated by the table. It’s three-dimensional, but when you look vertically it becomes something completely different, rather than where to access it from below. The type of table for the table is initiated in the presence of our inside, my presence, and I decided to do this with the idea.”

Jyoti and some like-minded others further proposed the idea at Nirdigantha, the art education center in ShettihalliIn two months.
“We started with a table, without plans, but within the first 20 days, the ideas started to emerge – mountains, offices, dining tables and bureaucracies. Soon the table was no longer a table – it became a bar, a house, a plow, a farmland, a field, etc. Our materials began to develop and I began to construct its work; that’s the work in it.”
She added: “The inverted table is a different space than the one you created when standing on it. You are completely in another position, not just on your body.”
Although I’ll see this weekend Mezok It debuted in Bangalore, has completed 20 shows after its opening in Mumbai and has been staged in Bareilly, Hyderabad and Delhi.
Up to six regional languages can be heard Mezok – Kannada, Hindi, Punjabi, Sirmauri (Pahari dialect of Himachal), Garhwali and Ladakhi from Uttarakhand, and polite actors from Ladakh, Jaipur, Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai in addition to English.
“From the beginning, I urged actors to improvise their native language, even if the rest of us don’t understand. Language plays a significant role in the way their bodies react to the table and the spaces within it,” Jyoti said.

Jyoti elaborates on how the native language leads to the way in which one’s body exists and how changes work when they are related to others. “While most of these actors live and work in urban communities now, the process is a journey back to their roots and their childhood and where their family comes from.”
“Although the table starts as an object you can recognize, it has context usage and the position of its position that changes the space, which changes how you feel inside the body,” she said. Mezok. ”
