\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Devayani and Sharmishtha, once best friends, don’t get along anymore at King Yayati’s palace. The king has married Devayani, and Sharmishtha is now her slave – but the king desires her. As a punishment, he is cursed to become old and decrepit. Or will someone accept his curse for him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conflict on status, generation and gender versus the temptations of desire, power and eternal youth: In this ancient myth, Girish Karnad manages to excavate timeless weaknesses, asking for love and responsibility. When the plays first premiered in 1967, this new interpretation of traditional material from the Mahabharata framed by existentialism was an important milestone for the contemporary Indian drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An introduction by Kirtana Kumar (in English) will offer some background about tradition and present of theatre in Karnataka.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
