About The Event
Once upon a time a king ventured into an enchanted forest and is transformed by a spell. As the moon waxes and wanes so does Ila, turning from man to woman and back to man. This is her/his story as she/he tries to come to terms with her/his gender and the effect it has on her/his world.
Inspired by a lesser known myth, Ila is a devised piece that looks at gender, its related myths and dilemmas and the importance they play in our lives today. With ever-changing landscapes (sometimes in ancient land and sometimes in the local trains of Mumbai) and leaps in time, this chorus takes the audience through a provocative, playful and exciting journey that questions what it means to 'be a woman/man and everything in between'.
