Kala - 2017

Playwright - Saurabh Thakare

Direction - Saurabh Thakare

Word Kala is translated as Art in English. The play revolves around the myth of ‘Natya Utpatti’ from Bharatmuni’s Natyashastra , Wherein Brahma the creator creates the ‘Pancham Ved’ - Natyashastra on the request of lord Indra  , Who had no solution to  the havoc and devastation taking place on earth at the beginning of ‘Tretayug’.

​

In this play, the Myth has been questioned with an additional interpretation of ‘kala’ as a character  that weaves the thread from the past till the contemporary present times and tries to answer  the questions of its existence, identity, origin and belief. Will it find the answers?

​

This scenographic process allowed the actors to use body movement, improvised multilingual dialogues, psycho-physical realism and emphasis on emotions to find Kala.
