SNUOPOKA (The Caterpillar)
The strangest metamorphosis the world ever experiences is the change that an ugly caterpillar goes through until it becomes a butterfly. It is a really painful transformation in the life of a poor insect and it has to suffer a lot of hatred before reaching its adorable destiny.
The play addresses the tremendous effect of social stigma on a girl passing through the toughest phase of her life, puberty. Adolescence, the most vital moment in the development of a human mind, forms the premise for this play. It is a journey through the world of pain and distortion as an ultimate result of the stressed urban life of the day. In today’s world when pornography is just a click away, a 14-15 year old and slightly underdeveloped girl on physical aspects passes through tremendous agony thus leading to aggression. Strikingly in this play, the protagonist is none other than a murderer, who has served the full tenure of life imprisonment, substantiating the claim to condemn the act of crime and not the associated human being.
Allegorically it depicts the painful journey of a human caterpillar.
It is conceptually designed for the youth of the day who either are or have just passed through the adolescent phase of his or her life thus reducing any sort of mental gap and making theatre identifiable.
