The Play
 
Water is the most basic need of any living creature. It heals, but in a more unforgiving and ruthless form, it destroys as well. Jalam, Samudra’s much acclaimed production, is about water and its many forms of energy, basically capturing the many temperaments of Mother Earth reflected in the ‘universal solvent’. It explores the multiple facets of this element – how it brings relief, how it causes pralayam or disaster, and how it is being abused and polluted by modern man. In the Kal Yuga, abuse and misuse have made water a scarce, even a dying, resource. In Jalam, Samudra presents a performance that weaves in the divinity of Water, its painless attachment and its formless form.
