No Rest In The Kingdom at Ranga Shankara

No Rest in the Kingdom’, a devised, physical theatre performance, came out of the need to have a conversation about the daily and dangerous misogynist we are complicit in perpetrating. The performance looks at the female performer’s body as a site of protest and allows it to embody characters — male, female and feline – that imagines itself as fluid and empowered. A dark comedy, ‘No Rest in The Kingdom’ draws from the lives of urban characters who speak similar languages of consumerism and technology. Young and old men and women who are themselves baffled at this ‘gender question’ often find themselves walking on thin ice, oblivious, and sometimes very aware of the dangerous biases they hold. The laughter often received is both ludicrous and uncomfortable — often times knowing — that the outrageous world of inequities we inhabit is very much within us.
