‘I Wont Do it’
“She likes to give
He likes to take
This is how the relationship is born
She likes to give
He likes to take
And it goes on constantly, day after day..
The demand for his needs are abnormal
They don’t seem to get satiated
She likes to give
He likes to take
A day comes and he asks her to give up
And she says..I won’t do it”
A play in the spirit of ‘Eco-Feminism’ by ColorAshram Foundation
About the PLay
This will be a theatrical, musical, mixed media, experiential, revolutionary thought provoking performance based on Rasputin’s ‘Live & Remember’: a Russian piece of humanity held by a woman called Nastena, just at the brink of end of World War II.We believe that humanity has not evolved emotionally since centuries, even though the outward face of everything has changed.
We live in the currents of mythology, ideology, religious belief, political power play, cultural nuances, media lies and rising feminism. And then someone says ‘No’ and breaks a pattern, creates a new path, transforms and evolves from what ‘has been a norm’
This production is an attempt about a deep reflection of these patterns and the urgent need of a systemic change in the wake of war, ecological breakdown, anthropocenic changes and climate crisis.
Why is ColorAshram, a natural dyeing training and co-working space producing this play?
Well, join us to find out :)
‘There comes a time,
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
Love is all we need
We are the World, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So, lets start giving..’
(Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie)

We need a new system
A system that rewards compassion, mindset shift and well being
In production: ‘I won't do it’,
A complete balanced story of a time of war, ideology, patriarchy and craziness that deeply resonates with the time we live in today
