'Let's bet that I'll make friends before last period tomorrow.'
For 12 year old K P and his mother Pavunu, Parangipettai in coastal Tamil Nadu is an unfamiliar place. As they settle in, they soon become aware of their invisibility, their precarious position and the dangers of ambition for people like them.
Mundhirikkotte asks whether one can make a right choice in a wrong world. As the lives of three different communities cross paths, each will have to make a choice that will change their lives forever.
Director says:
“The challenge in Mundhirikkotte was to create visual poetry without losing touch with the ground realities of the salt pan workers’ lives, to invite the audience not merely to see, but also to feel and engage. To bring alive on stage what the characters share and what divides them - the common ground and the boundary wall.”
