The third work in the Kotozen series is the Japanese premiere of "Guards at the Taj", a play by Rajiv JOSEPH first performed in June 2015. Rajiv JOSEPH also wrote "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo", performed at the New National Theatre, Tokyo in December 2015.
The Taj Mahal, of the Mughal Empire, is under construction. The story begins the night before construction is completed. There are only two characters, Humayun and Babur. The dialogue between the two childhood friends on night sentry duty guarding the Taj Mahal construction site grows more thrilling as time passes, addressing a range of topics, including beauty and power, rulers and resistance, loyalty to country and the dignity of the individual.
It is a story that portrays universal conflicts faced by all individuals in any context.
