As monsoon takes over Pune, spend the week with Mailer Daemon, expert comedians or artwork called Terrestrial Bodies

The cultural calendar is packed with theatre, paintings, installations and an online workshop.

The central character of the play Hidden in Plain Sight – v2.0 Digital Edition, is a figure who is familiar to everybody who uses email. She is Mailer Daemon and she faithfully replies every time an email bounces. From the message fragments she often finds, she knows there’s a girl in the apartment who’s possibly losing her mind. Sandhya is trekking up in the mountains but can’t quite seem to find her freedom. And then there’s Mrs. Raghuraman, who loses her head at a party. You can watch the play on BookMyShow on June 18. Charges: Rs 299

The gallery is presently displaying the works of Delhi-based artist M Pravat who creates paintings, sculptural installations, drawings, collage works with material that draws on lived experiences of the built environment. His works, such as Terrestrial Bodies, evoke the disintegration of cityscapes where blueprints, maps, architecture and geological landmass collapse into one another.
