Host-A-Performance | Schedule

The play deals with human desires. The play explores the desires of women characters of the Mahabharata - the desires of love, ambition, power, education, and ambition for their children. While Gandhari wails over the dead bodies of her hundred sons and curses Krishna with the destruction of the Yadava Clan along with Krishna himself, The two queens of King Shantanu, Ganga, and Satyavati, talk about their respective marriage, love, and desires. The stories of Amba, Ambika, and Ambalika, the three beautiful princesses are also addressed, how they were objectified and wronged by society's patriarchal ways. Different shades of Draupadi are brought to the forefront with different scenes. Cheerharan scene of Draupadi in the Kaurava's court is followed by a scene where Draupadi vows to seek revenge by bathing her hair in Duryodhanas and Kaurava Clan's blood and manages to achieve the same as shone. Stories of some strong characters from ancient times i.e Chitrangada, Kunti, Shikhandi, Ahilya & Gautam Rishi, and Iravan- Arjun's illegitimate son are also depicted. Conversations between Krishna and his Consciousness try to retrospect the journey of the Mahabharata war. Krishna also shows hope and light at the end of the dark tunnel. There are self-realizations and wisdom and the ultimate truth is that everything born, dies too
