Mental health in the spotlight

Shilpee Theatre’s ‘Awoken Pillow’ examines the topic through a self-aware script, raw acting and beautiful choreography.

Upon entering Shilpee Theatre, you’ll find actors and dancers in between their rehearsals. No opening lines or curtains drawing open to signal the start of the play. A man is seated in the centre while others jump, roam and hit him on the head. His face has melancholy and burden written all over it. He is lost in his thoughts.
