SIGAPPU KANNAADY (RED MIRROR)

 SIGAPPU KANNAADY (RED MIRROR)

a Play in Tamil

Synopsis of the play

Our History has been proving time and again one very important thing that is happening in this very world i.e. the politics played by the male bodies against the female bodies is tough to get rid of. Actually the History has comfortably forgotten to script the stories of the trials, tribulations, tears, ruckus and agonies stressed upon the female bodies. 

The miserable part is that the female are really unaware and vision less of the politics that is being played upon their bodies and to say metaphorically they are still like toddlers clenching and craving for dolls. This play explores the sprouting of the oppressed and battered voices and confident that a new history could be written. 

This play takes a tough stand against the people with run of the mill kind attitude and raises many questions of their conventional existence. These questions are the need of the hour as it would help us to wage a rigorous war counter to the female soul, female infanticide, sexual abuse and harassment. The play’s trickling down blood resembling the red mirror is very new to us. Red Mirror play, its language is also new but the body and the agony are as old as the hills.
