About The Event
Savitri, a middle-aged woman, is dissatisfied with her circumstances. She has an unemployed son, a promiscuous teen daughter, and a husband who has failed to provide her with emotional and financial security. She tries to find fulfillment in relationships outside her marriage, only to realize that all men are the same beneath different faces.
What makes Mohan Rakesh's portrayal of Savitri, one of Hindi theatre’s first feminist icons, so gripping is that one is never sure whether he admires her rage to get a grip on her life or suggests that she is a woman caught in her destiny and circumstances, in the manner of a tragic Greek heroine.
