ELEPHANT GOD
The play is in three acts. The dramatic narrative is about three stages of human experience: mental, sensory (without the visual), and visual. The play compares the imaginative faculty with sensory, and finally with only visual category of understanding. How the knowledge of the world unfolds through these stages of experience!
The narrative is adapted from the parable in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions. Act II adapts and modifies the parable which is about how six blind men who touch the parts of the elephant and understand that it is a wall, rope, fan, and so on. Act I and II are built upon the parable in multiple cultural, literary and philosophical ways.
Elephant God is the showcase of Trans-Himalayan cultural dance, drama, music and comedy.
