German idol
Theatre collective Tadpole Repertory is out with their latest production. Ich bin Fassbinder is about Homi, a man inspired by German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film Angst essen Seele auf (Fear Eats the Soul). Homi decides to make a film on it with his Delhi-based theatre group. But it seems that the production is jinxed: a faulty script, actors out of line with the director's vision, and Homi's obsession with his enigmatic idol.
