Bengaluru-based First Drop Theatre presents Care-Tharsis, a unique playback theatre program focusing on the vital roles of caregivers.

The performance on September 19 is an extension of the company's commitment to using theatre for awareness and empathy. Care-Tharsis delves into the personal narratives of individuals involved in caregiving, encompassing not just medical professionals but also family members and friends.
Care-Tharsis offers a space for audiences to connect with human emotions and real-life stories. While not formal therapy, the playback format aims for a therapeutic effect, allowing expression and understanding. First Drop Theatre has previously performed in medical settings, fostering personal growth and deeper societal insight among its members.
