Answer:
Ambai’s ‘Crossing the River’ (Hindi/45mins) is revived after ten years by well-known theatre director K.S. Rajendran’s Natyadharmi theatre group.
The play interrogates the idea of a woman, as constructed, shaped and imposed by social and cultural forces. Through the metaphor of Sita, who is banished to the forests by Ram, the play embarks upon a series of uncomfortable questions at patriarchy. Different characters from our cultural and mythological memory resurface blurring who Sita is… Locating a ‘Sita’ in all individuals who refuse to confirm. A transformative text coming back to life after a decade!
