Join us every sunday for an online play reading from the work of great playwrights
Natya Alochan is an initiative taken by Kahe Vidushak community. It is an online play reading activity happening every sunday at 10 AM. Every week we choose a play and read it together exploring characters, emotions and storytelling ideas. This is a fun and interactive session for anyone who wants to explore the world of theatre and its deep roots. In this week's Natyaalochan, A mythical story, a tale of responsibility, sacrifice and self realization, written by highly acclaimed playwright, Girish Karnad. Yayaati. Yayaati is characterized by his insatiable desires symbolised though his actions. The story is about the exchange of ages between father and son. We will be reading the Hindi translation.
Vidushak is an elusive character fighting oppression by the powerful. We take up the role of the Vidushak and use theatre to draw attention of the audience and those in authority, to the follies of their way. We are about making criticism less venomous.
