Katkatha Puppet Arts Trust and W.I.P Labs. Produced by W.I.P Labs in association with Katkatha Puppet Arts Trust.

Glove puppets with orange heads seated at a table under a spotlight — Orange Juice, W.I.P alt.FEST, Bengaluru

A puppet thriller for the age of social media, where justice is swift, public and merciless.

Orange Juice takes Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, ten strangers summoned to an isolated place and eliminated one by one for their past sins, and moves it into a world saturated by online outrage. The verdict arrives before the evidence, and everyone is a potential target or a self-appointed critic.

The orange-headed glove puppets, designed by Mohammad Shameem, are at once absurd and unsettlingly human. The performers work the puppets and run the lighting live from the stage, while Baan G performs an original score that drives both the tension and the dark comedy. No two shows are identical.
