This play is being presented as part of the National School of Drama’s graduate showcase, which aims to provide a platform to emerging theatre practitioners, while allowing them to share their work with a wide audience. The play Trojan Women follows the fate of the women of Troy after their city has been sacked, their husbands killed and their remaining family members taken away as slaves. The epic Iliad reveals the reason for the Trojan War as womanhood. In most epics, be it Ramayana, Mahabharata, Iliad or Odyssey, women were considered and judged to be the reasons for the war. In articulated definitions of society and its cultural practices, women have regularly been excluded from the mainstream of the male fantasized culture or are marginalized from that culture and thereby, from history. Even in India, Dalit women are living a life of slavery. They are oppressed and are debarred from development in all spheres be it social, economic or educational. Here, the process of dalitisation of women is the background of The Trojan Women, based on Sartre’s philosophy. |
