Shudrka Hyderabad presents the monologue “I DON’T MOVE, I DON’T SCREAM” inspired by Lo Stupro (The Rape, 1983), adapted and translated in English by Swapan Mondal. The play draws on Rame’s traumatic personal experiences after she was kidnapped, tortured, and gang raped in 1973 by a neofascist group that was discovered to have been commissioned by several high-ranking Milanese police officials.

This is an autobiographical performance and refers to its historical links with women's strife for justice. It is a reworked theatrical text on the use of sexual violence in the recent wave of violence in different parts of India.
