BELLY OF THE BEAST

BELLY OF THE BEAST


By MTG editorial


Writer : Kalki Koechlin and Sheena Khalid
Director : Sheena Khalid
Cast : Kalki Koechlin, Kettan Singh, Amba-Suhasini K. Jhala, Rachel D'Souza, Shanaya Rafaat and Shruti Vyas.


Five women move through different stages of motherhood�"pregnancy, labour, postpartum, raising young children, and learning to let go.

As their lives change, they transform into mythical creatures, reflecting the emotional and physical intensity of motherhood.

The play explores how childbirth and motherhood are often romanticised or controlled by society, while the real experience remains messy, painful, powerful, and deeply human.

Using shadow puppetry, live music, movement, and dark humour, the play shifts between intimate moments and surreal theatrical worlds. Alongside moments of exhaustion, rage, and isolation are deep love and tenderness.

Drawn from lived experiences and testimonies, at its heart, Belly of the Beast is an unflinching yet compassionate portrait of motherhood in all its contradictions: beautiful, terrifying, exhausting, and transformative.
