Hayavadana

Theatre again!!!

No, my blog is not about plays!! :-). Thought of sharing with u the great experience i had yesterday in "Rangashankara".

The play being showed-Hayavadana(meaning:Person with a head of Horse)

sounds interesting rt? so was it.

Let me begin with Rangashankara, the theatre is too good. The ambience is so nice.

The inner side doesnt have any plaster coated on it.

It is bricks and only bricks.

The bricks are painted black in some places and left with their original color in some part of the interior.

the seats form a small part of a big cirlce, nealy arranged one behind other

You have to see it to experience.

Coming to the play, it is based on one of the works by Jnanapeetha Awardee Girish Karnad.

The theatre group which presented the play is "Benaka"(Meaing Ganesh)

The music was composed by B.V. Karanth.

Great performances by all the artists, great music and some witty dialogues and great humour made for a wonderful play.

The stage was used very creatively.

A scene where Goddess Kali appears before Padmini which could have been very serious was filled with great humour.

Me and my friend were overjoiced at the end.
