The project looks at evoking ecological consciousness amongst people living at the crossroads of human-wildlife interphase, especially those living at the forest edges and the larger community of people who are living in oblivion to the damage that they are causing to the environment and wildlife. The project focuses on the lives and the conservation concerns of Nilgiri Langurs, an endemic primate species found in the hills of south India, threatened by habitat destruction and habitat fragmentation. The project seeks its completeness when it looks at the socio economic conditions of the tea estate workers in the tea plantations of Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation in Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve. Taking an art based approach it seeks to understand the state of affairs in the region through the medium of embodied practice.The learnings from the field visits and research culminates into a script for a play which tries to look at the world through the eyes of an animal, here a Nilgiri Langur.
