Principal Texts: Peter Handke, Edward Kamau Braithwaite, William Shakespeare, Sumathy and a collage of works from Jaffna poets
Synopsis: Who or what is a Caliban? Our play is not just a re-working of a Shakespeare classic treated with a collage of texts but a voyage to find Caliban amongst the dissident map in India and Sri Lanka.
All over these countries we are identifying "traitors." Traitors like people who legally question the government on the murder of Lasantha Wickeramatunge; like people who question the years of developmental apathy that led to the multiple flashpoints in Lalgarh and Nandigram; like editors who are shot dead in the north-east of India with an alarming regularity; like marginal voice arguing about the internment of 280,000 Tamils who are languishing in relief camps in the north and east of Serendip, like people who question the wrist-cutting barbarity in Kalinganagar, like poets waging war against aesthetics in claustrophobic set-ups where religion is invoked as a convenience to shoot down any artistic dissent...like.....
The play identifies Calibans and tries to reclaim the Tempest for him.
This festival is open for all! Celebrating 10 years of Kriti team’s expressions for social change!
