OTTAM: BORN TO RUN

A play set in the world of athletics!
Ottam traces the life of Akai Amaran, a Paraiyar girl from rural Tamil Nadu, who battles caste and class barriers to become one of India's leading track and field athletes. Her arduously created world collapses when she is asked to undertake a gender test. Akai's existence, further highlighted by her victories, poses a challenge to socially established norms. In Akai's words: "In any race, what's of utmost importance is ... to go on running! Ottam!"
Described by senior sports journalist, Sharda Ugra as "the most original, truthful, creatively imagined depiction of Indian sport made for the stage", Ottam is a must watch!
