India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) in collaboration with G5A Foundation for Contemporary Culture presentsAKSHAYAMBARA by Dramanon, Bangalore, and directed by Sharanya Ramprakash, IFA grantee and theatre practitioner. AKSHAYAMBARA is an experimental play that uses both modern theatrical tools and the dance drama form ofYakshagana, to create a contemporary narrative that raises questions on female representation and male ownership. Drawing from research and personal experience, the performance imagines a reversal of roles in the popularYakshagana plot of 'Draupadi Vastrapaharana'. The play seeks to explore the conflicts around tradition, gender, power, and morality inherent in the form of Yakshagana.
