No plans for the weekend? Well, get ready for an unforgettable theatrical experience as director Dnyanesh Moghe unfolds Athol Fugard’s intense play, A Place with the Pigs, at Majorda’s Carpe Diem.
The play is set in 1944 in a pigsty in a small village which symbolises a dank and unwholesome world. The narrative is inspired by a true story of exile and desperation and the multi-faceted film and theatre artiste, Dnyanesh Moghe, brings out the best through the play.
With an evocative script, a visionary director and a seasoned cast, A Place with the Pigs promises to be a powerful theatrical experience.
The story of the play – A Place with the Pigs – focuses on the world of Pavel Ivanovitch, a Russian soldier who after the World War II, decided to move into a pigsty over the anticipated punishment for abandonment.
The narrative is inspired by a true story of exile and desperation and the multi-faceted film and theatre artiste, Dnyanesh Moghe brings out the best through his play.
Pavel in his mid-thirties, is haunted with guilt over his past actions during the war and is struggling between his personal redemption and societal judgment about his act.
For years, the damp, claustrophobic pigsty becomes his entire universe, a smelly, dirty prison he built out of fear, shame and self-punishment. The cast comprises talented and versatile actors – Deepalaxmi Moghe and Daegal Godinho.
“We are very excited to perform this very unique and witty play. This play delves into the world of Pavel as he reflects on his past, revealing his memories of innocence and the guilt that he carries within him for years,” says the cast.
Set your calendar for April 5 and 6 and get ready to prepare to be amused and entertained by Pavel and his decision to ironically find a place with the pigs in a pigsty. Watch as director Dnyanesh Moghe brings the world of Pavel, his internal conflict and moral dilemmas into the set which will leave a lasting impression.
