Dharmmocracy - Performance

The Director Speaks:
The performance blends some important moments from the plays by the ancient Indian playwright Bhasa. The plays explored here are Balivadhanga from Abhishekanatakam and Urubhanga.When Duryodhana and Bali foresee death, they understand the futility of vengeance and war ...
Durjaya & Angada are enthroned to fulfill vested political interests...
Sibling rivalry…
War…
Death…
Treachery…
Death exposes the futility of War…
Dharma, an ideological apparatus for political invasion...

Description of the battle!

A fallen Bali questions Ram's actions...
An angry Balram with the fallen Duryodhana
Randanthyarangangal or Dharmocracy!

A play by Ramesh Varma
