Tahatto Behind the Scenes – A Small background of how AFTCW happened!

In this blog I will take you through the decisions we made before we decided to stage a play.

Tahatto as a group is made of people from all walks of life, advertising, sales, marketing, writing, editing, fashion designing, event management,  students and the inevitable IT.

We chatted for a while and laughed at some incidents; the origins of which lay in the theatre fraternity. We also attempted to figure out why some actors can’t help projecting pendulumic head movements on stage ! more »

A Funny Thing Called War – The First Blog

“A Funny Thing Called War” is our journey from theater lovers as an audience to actual magicians on stage (or so I hope we grow to become).

Theater has always been an interesting medium of entertainment to all in Tahatto, even before we became Tahatto. But Evam changed the whole perspective and got us hooked on to theater performance and of course them.
