Indian theatre-much like the country's recent film, art and dance offerings-has
propelled itself to its rightful place in the labyrinth of mainstream
culture.
This beautiful one-woman play re-examines the hopelessness of a world
in which the man is master and the woman the object. Through puppetry,
dance and sound, Untitled renegotiates the boundaries, presenting an alternative
existence in which a woman creates her own circumstance.
Loosely inspired by Euripides' Medea, Lushin Dubey's beautiful performance
encapsulates both its tragedy and power.Fascinating in its cultural imaginings
and universal in its implications, this is important, well-acted theatre.
