Constellations - The Play

Several realities enact the dazzling play of Nick Payne as we follow the central romance between Roland and Marianne through every possibility and not neatly from the start till the end. It works as a jigsaw across the simultaneous moments.

The play explores time so that we start jumping forward, back, and sideways, watching the parallel lives unfolding for a couple like The Height of the Storm, like Florian Zeller.

The play wants you to imagine that life exists throughout the multiverse as a set of parallel universes containing infinitely diverse futures, and there are better possibilities happening in our endless lives. Further, it wants you to visualize that every possible event might happen when it takes place in a single universe or the other.

The Plot

Marianne is the physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper, met during a party. They even started it off according to the drink. Or it might not. They travel home together, or might it be that they go in their separate ways? However, Marianne gets engaged to someone else where Roland. There would be times when she breaks his heart, or it might be that he is breaking up with her.

They might even gather together with their love story that lastly takes root to grow, or it is tragically cut short. The beautiful play, Constellation by Nick Payne, starts exploring how these smaller changes affect their lives, dramatically altering the course people are taking. It becomes the spellbinding exploration of science, love, infinite possibility, and quantum theory for heartbreak and hope.

The plays consist of complex science where there are times that succumb to these pitfalls of becoming cerebral theorizing. However, the play starts manifesting the science organically in its form and content with the application of quantum physics to the human drama with incredible imagination while playing with the formal non-linearity without any sense of gimmicky or shallowness.

The play asks some of the biggest questions about purpose, existence, and free will. It is more like helium balloons in the backdrop, with the feeling of fun and weightlessness. It is the affirmation of companionship and love, although it is driving towards the death of its ending.
