Flesh is an indoor based performance project performed with a group of local artistes.
This project explores the price of human flesh and how it functions as a platform for trade while exposing the entrapment the human mind experiences because of these platforms. Presented in Tamil, Flesh attempts to break the boundaries society had set on the way relationships should be handled and judged.
It shows how the society has always placed a on human flesh and the heart has always been an object to be played or fiddled with when it comes to emotions and relationships. In an age where sex is a commodity to be bought and sold, the play attempts to question the value and existence of love when bodies merge for money and lust and not for any form of sustained emotional attachment.
Centring around the image of rotting meat, it evokes a kind of disgust by making us wonder how it would look, taste and smell. Through this imagery, the Director but puts forth a case of moral dilemma and victimisation through a trade that is beyond rationalisation.
