Indian Liver Show

Theatre ← Back to Gallery

A satirical performance based on an anecdote in Saadi’s Gulistan about the nature of kings: a king is struck by a terrible illness, and the cure is liver

Drawing on an anecdote from Saadi’s Golestan, this exhibition humorously brings the power and illness of kings to the fore. Geometric frames and the shifting of bodies create a scene poised between stillness and movement
