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".
