| The Play | ||||||||
| The play Mythical Surrender is constructed upon the backdrop of military combing operations conducted as part of counter insurgency measures in the North Eastern region of the country. Using symbolic theatrical gestures and movements, the playwright tries to depict the pain, violence and cruelty inherent in the existing contemporary situation. The central character Shanarei is raped by a serpent-like human. She carries the seed born out of this unholy alliance within her, along with the agony of the oppressive memory. The child born is similar to the serpent-like humans in appearance and manners. To save the future of her society, Shanarei kills her son. | ||||||||
