Description
-
Hayavadan is Naatak’s staging of Girish Karnad’s play Hayavadana, a landmark work that explores identity, completeness, and desire through a story of intertwined lives. Centered on a love triangle between Padmini, Devadatta, and Kapila, the narrative takes a surreal turn when the men’s heads are exchanged, raising questions about the relationship between body, mind, and self. Drawing from Indian myth and folklore as well as modernist influences, the play blends philosophical inquiry with theatrical experimentation.
