Agni aur Barkha – Play, 29th July 2010

 

A play is going to be presented which is directed by Rakhi Manuv.
A play by Girish Karnad is based on a story from the Mahabharata which tellingly illuminates universal themes - alienation, loneliness, love, family, hatred - through the daily lives and concerns of a whole community of individuals. In this Paravasu is the eldest son of the great sage Raibhya. For seven long years he has performed the mahayagya to appease the gods and get rains for the drought-ridden land. He has forsaken his wife - Vishakha, his brother - Arvasu and all worldly pursuits. His exalted position of Chief Priest of the sacrifice creates discord and animosity within his own family, from his father Raibhya to his cousin Yavakri.

 

Timing: On 29th July 2010 at 7pm.

Venue:
Poorva Sanskritik Kendra (PSK)
