Jyothi Venkatesh
Bali, produced by Adishakti Laboratory for Theatre Arts Research, Pondicherry, written and directed by Nimmy Raphel is a play based on an episode from the epic tale of Ramayana. Bali is a retelling of the various events that lead up to the battle between Bali, the ruler of Kishkindha and Ram, the King of Ayodhya and eventually, the death of Bali. Here, the writer has tried to explore the notion of right or wrong through its various characters, while steering clear of any subjective influences. Through this play, we inquire how one evaluates this notion and, how it can change when each and every character is given an opportunity to voice thoughts and opinions. The play weaves multiple stories through the point of views of Bali, Tara, Sugreeva, Angadha, Rama and Ravana and talks about how each of them make decisions and take actions based on the ethics that define their lives.
