Patni is a fusion of solo performance by Makarand Deshpande and Indian classical and fusion musician Niladri Kumar. In the play, Makarand introduces his dead wife to viewers through a monologue, with situational music by Kumar. While Kumar communicates through his music at a concert, Deshpande communicates through words and acting on stage.
The two artistes strongly believe that music and theatre are interconnected and says there is a lot of theatre in music, which usually goes unnoticed. Patni is the result of the duo’s attempt at walking the extra mile to see what could possibly be the outcome of a deliberate blend of music and theatre.
