| The Play | ||||||||
| Based on a story by Rabindranath Tagore, the play is weaved into a performance that raises poignant questions. A man purchases a Persian slave girl and gifts her against her will to the Badshah. The girl laments hysterically like a crazed woman. Does her lament signify personal disappointment or the yearnings of the entire female race? Meher Ali keeps shouting “these are false…. Keep away.” What does his shout signify? The central stone statues come alive at night, transforming themselves into enchantresses who overpower the men who unwittingly venture there. Whose perspective is this? A man’s or a woman’s? How should the lamentations of the stone statues be interpreted? Did they thirst for male company? Or did they want to be freed from the bondage of the enchantresses | ||||||||
