The plays performed at the 14th edition of the International Theatre Festival of Kerala (ITFoK) have been noticed for their efforts to raise voice for social justice.
Adishakthi Theatre’s Urmila, performed on Sunday, was a thought-provoking play that delved into the complex ethical and gender-related issues that have been woven into the fabric of society throughout history.
Set in the ancient land of Ayodhya, the play centres on the character of Urmila from the Ramayana, a woman whose life is dramatically altered by a seemingly innocuous command from her husband, Lakshmana: “Sleep, my sleep.”
