An exploration of the life of widows in 20th century Calcutta and one widow in particular, Binodini, who finds herself entangled in a forbidden love triangle. Adapted by Dr. Partha Chatterjee in English from Nobel Poet Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s novel, the story about female desire in the domestic sphere is adapted as a Greek tragedy. Through the conventions of staging tragedy, Hypokrit captures the world of 20th century Bengal as it relates to the world now. With the use of world music and movement, Hypokrit Theatre Company presents Tagore’s most daring tale as an alive and present, contemporary work of art.
