Synopsis: SETU's take on the epic Ramayan this fall is very different from a traditional one. Written by SETU members covering all 7 kands in 15 scenes, this production will be both a humanistic and women-centric stage production. Our humanistic angle places less emphasis on characters' traditional godly attributes but rather approaches characters as relatable, vulnerable human beings. Our colorful stage production accentuates the powerful roles of some of the lesser known women characters - Kaikaye, Urmila, and Surpanakha - just to name a few, and from Rakshasa and Vanara clans. A family friendly show; children will love appearances from the golden deer and life-size queen of Eagle Jatayu, as well as the trial of Sita by fire.
