Theatre

In The Story of Tolol, Raju is a coconut tree climber who is conflicted after falling from a jackfruit tree. The villagers, including his wife, Priya, consider Raju to be mentally ill because he loves his gamecock named Rikki more than his own wife. Priya and her neighbour Mak Som bring Raju to a bomoh as they suspect him to be possessed by a ghost. Is Raju actually crazy, possessed by a ghost, or maybe he has an untold story?
