`10 Year Old Raped By Father'...Story in The Hindu, on April 29, 2011

Incest is a recurring fact in today's India...and children who are its 
victims, are scarred for life.

Katyayani presents an English play  `Tattoo', on June 19th, at the 
Epicentre, Gurgaon. Tickets at venue.

Tattoo is the story of the imprisonment of the human spirit. Of
incarceration that occurs in the home and through loved and trusted
people. It is the exposure of incest which is kept under wraps under
the garb of protecting the family honour. Based on real life stories,
the play, written by Geman playwright Dea Loher, adapted and directed 
by Sohaila Kapur, exposes a hidden and shocking aspect of human 
society, which has resulted in some of history's
worst psychopaths and criminals.

`Tattoo' is also about the subjugation of women in a patriarchal world.

"It was a subject so disturbing that director Sohaila Kapur waited five 
years before putting Tattoo, a German play about incest, on stage. The 
play is two hours of grim intensity. Kapur has added a few strains of 
music but it only adds to the tension"---Indian Express
