An exploration of the complex relationships between the individual, society, and the divine by delving deeper into Draupadi’s experience.

The characters of this play are metaphors for larger existential forces. Draupadi represents womanhood, Kunti embodies society, Krishna stands for God or the universe, and the Pandavas, along with Karna, symbolize the male experience. This central tension – the woman’s confrontation with the traditions of society, the men around her, and eventually with the divine – drives the narrative.

God’s Lioness is a play rich in Metaphor, Puppetry, and Masks manifested through Chau and Kathakali. Experience a new Theatrical Form which is not merely a retelling of the Mahabharat; it is a reinterpretation that merges traditional Indian theatrical forms with contemporary storytelling.

Ultimately, this play invites the audience to confront the question : In a world where the forces of fate, society, and the divine seem so much larger than us, what choice do we have? The answer, we believe, is that we must choose, like Draupadi, to define our own existence, to embrace our agency, and to live with the consequences of those choices.
