MANY A THOUSAND YEARS | Ala Centre for Culture, Mulanthuruthy, Ernakulam

MANY A THOUSAND YEARS is a theatre production presented by Rasa Theatre Collective at Ala Centre for Culture, Mulanthuruthy, Ernakulam. Inspired by Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, the play explores the uncertainties, contradictions and hopes of human existence through the experiences of two actors, Mano and Gomi, who find themselves waiting somewhere between performance and reality.

Moving between characters, rehearsals and fragments of their own lives, Mano and Gomi navigate personal struggles, questions and expectations. Through humour, absurdity and stillness, the production examines waiting as a shared human experience, exploring what we wait for, what we do while waiting, and what we discover about ourselves along the way.

Written by Aparna Ashok and directed by Rahul Thomas, the production is devised and performed by Abraham Vadakkan and Rahul Thomas. The creative team also includes Sujith V. V. for music, Merianna K for costumes, Aravindhan for lighting, and Joel and Aparna Hari Nair for production support. The English-language performance runs for 90 minutes and is scheduled for November 21 and 22, 2026, at 6:30 PM at Ala Centre for Culture, Mulanthuruthy, Ernakulam. Tickets are priced at ₹400.
