Darpan Marathi Writing Initiative 2025 – Winning play

Supported by Shilpa Kumar

Costume Partner: Westside

Alive is the story of Radha, a young social media influencer with a huge online following but a deep sense of personal disconnection. Immersed in the digital world, she thrives on virtual applause yet struggles with the absence of meaningful human connections.

One day, she meets Raghav online, and their casual conversation develops into a deep friendship. As their bond grows, Radha begins to feel a genuine connection with him. The play follows Radha’s journey, their relationship, and their search for personal identities in a digital world where the lines between the real and virtual blur.

Alive explores the impact of the digital age on human life, highlighting the shifting definitions of connection, relationships, and self-discovery in today’s digital world. Alive asks: in a world full of virtual connections, what does it mean to truly feel alive?
