Shadow Liberation

Shadow Liberation is an experimental theater group of Evan Hastings and his students from Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology in Bangalore. Evan is a theater artist and drama therapist from USA, who directs and produces original performance pieces that grapple with pressing issues while innovative aesthetics invite audience engagement. This participatory theater piece portrays a series of unresolved conflicts around gender oppression and leaves it up to the audience to come on the stage in role and change the outcome.

The shadows of oppression dance against the fabric of society, so gender oppression and opposing powers are explored in the performance. The scenography merits a particular mention because it is a result of different hand made experimental projections, using reflection of colored ink in water and impressive masks for creating special atmospheres. All the audience ends the performance through participation in the last collective dance.
