‘Dehantar’ marks end
of theatre festival
Chandigarh, November 9 Based on the myth of Yayati, as enshrined in the texts of Mahabharata, the play brings out the conflict of a man cursed to losing his youth prematurely. The dilemma of Yayati stems from this loss, which he considers intolerable and unacceptable. His predicament lingers till the day his son Puru offers to end the curse by accepting his father’s old age in exchange of his youth. What follows is a traumatic tale of misplaced identities wherein Yayati’s wife Sharmishtha refuses to accept Yayati with his altered reality. She respects him but can’t offer herself as his wife, mother as she is to Puru whose youth Yayati is flaunting. Gradually, Yayati awakens to the misery he has invited upon him. As the play unfolds baring the pangs of Sharmishtha who is most traumatized in this episode of exchange of bodies, Yayati returns Puru’s youth to him. The dilemma surfaces yet again with Puru failing to come to terms with his youth, which has seen lust for his own mother. The play featured Sindhu Mishra, Bhupesh Pandya, Charul Laul, Shyam Kishore, Rama and Ketan Prakash. |
