Chala / Intrigue

–is based on the incident where the old hunch-backed wet nurse of the Warrior Queen Kaikeyi, the stepmother of  Prince Rama, plays upon her insecurities to ask for Rama’s banishment to the forest before his coronation in order to crown her own son the king. The palace intrigues are portrayed by creating elaborate tableaux which are reminiscent of early 20th century “Company” theatre.
