Mysuru: Bengaluru-based theatre troupe Rangamithraru will be staging the Kannada play Dahana on May 5 (Sunday) at 4 pm and 7 pm at Kirurangamandira in Kalamandira premises. Based on the story written by well-known theatre person S.N. Sethuram, the play is directed by Raghavendra Naik.
About the Play: How would an encounter with your favourite writer turn out to be? Akshatha is a hardcore fan of HBR — the famed feminist Writer, Actor, Director & Activist. She is going through a tough phase in her personal life and reaches out to her idol seeking counsel. HBR, known for intimately portraying female sensibility and capturing the anguish and soul of a woman’s being agrees to pay her a visit.
What starts off as a candid conversation soon becomes an eye opener that pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you question the integrity of the pseudo-intellectuals like HBR. What if Akshatha’s idol wants to strip off that revered image of his and yield to the bodily needs?
While the events take a dramatic turn, this hard-hitting play delves into the psyche of intellectuals like HBR, leaving you thinking hard and wondering about the masks that people wear. Will those who want to see the others naked, see their ego and lust set aflame when they strip themselves completely naked in front of their own conscience? This punch to the gut of a play makes you contemplate about just that. [Call Mob: 9945655155 or 9886711381].
