The play 'Reflections', revolves around varied images of 'the suffering body', performed at Abhimunch auditorium during IFTI, in January 2012.  It comprises of five main sequences and their sub-sequences. The performance revolves around the theme of the suffering body from different backgrounds, justified and executed with precise actions and inner monologues.

As discussed with the director, Noushad Mohammed Kunju, Reader, Theatre Arts, University of Hyderabad, we planned a different colour scheme for the each individual sequence. To enlightening the space I followed the divisions of the stage into 9 parts. Because it is also a movement oriented on the floor, I also used different colour tones on the floor lights. These joining points of the colour lights and the illusion created by the merging of colours is appropriated.

At the end, the stage was divided into six compartments where it resembles the city life. The actors in the above photo, explores the real life situations happening in the metropolitan city flats, like Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolakata.
