Buddha

Description

Buddha is a Naatak original musical that traces the life of Siddhartha Gautama, from his departure from royal life to his attainment of enlightenment and his journey as a teacher. Set in the sixth century BCE and written in verse, the play combines narrative, music, and choreography to explore themes of renunciation, compassion, and transformation. Staged outdoors, the production uses ensemble performance and visual design to create a fluid, immersive theatrical experience. This image captures an interaction between two contrasting figures, one representing worldly life and the other spiritual transformation, visually emphasizing the play’s central tension between material desire and the path toward enlightenment.
