The performance manages to stir emotions amongst the viewers as one finds various eccentricities as well as twists and turns wrapped in the plot.

The story begins with, Master Tusk, a boy who has been given a new head -- but it's no ordinary head, it is an elephant's head. Coiled up with his own emotions and bewildered he is left in a jungle where he needs to fight a new battle at every step. He encounters a makdi and a pocher. Amongst various toils and troubles the boy must find his missing head. But more importantly his experiences would go on to decide if he can survive with his new head. Part fantastical, part philosophical, the play with its underlying messages gives us a glimpse into our own lives.
