HATTIMATIM-TEAM will perform Abhisek Bhattacharya’s play, “EMPTY NIGHT,” at multiple fringe festivals across the USA in 2026.

“EMPTY NIGHT” by Abhisek Bhattacharya

How would you feel if you ever encountered a ferocious Bengal tiger, a female Bengal tiger with paws destroyed by bullets? Now imagine that you are a thief, not by choice, but by circumstances—you got a knife in your back while trying to steal so that your kids can eat, and on your way, you came face-to-face with a female Bengal tiger, who entered a human village to find food for her cubs.

Award-winning playwright Abhisek Bhattacharya’s “Empty Night” is a story of our time, when forests are dwindling and habitats are shrinking —and despite their ferocious strength and immense pride, the tigers can only survive as long as humans allow them to. On an empty stage, two individuals on the brink of death confront life, both make sacrifices, and one learns the rules of survival to find out what it means to be human.
