Synopsis:
The protagonist of the Play, Ashokan, is as an artist with a bothered emotional life. He is extremely sensitive to his surroundings and always in conflict with it. From the small hospital room in which he has been arrested, he struggles to find sense in his life. Real and unreal characters - past, present and future –all inclusive and yet only partial.
I worked on my personal worries and feelings. I tried to look back, through which my generation is being brought up, say theatre, film, football, nationalism, imperialism, power, Politics and literature and to share some memories which may be scattered. Some confusion, an impact of present scenario led me to Jalaghatikaram. Through this play I try to invite the audience to fill up my uncertainties with theirs and to create an atmosphere of performing concepts. I think this Situation is not very alarming but it is going to be worse than ever...
