Event Description : THEATRE "Rakshas" Hindi Play by The Tadpole Repertory

A wandering warrior arrives at a strange little town that has been under the monstrous rule of a Rakshas for hundreds of years. When our self-proclaimed hero, Veera, takes it upon herself to free the townspeople by killing the monster, they hate the idea and ridicule her instead. With the odds stacked against her, our young hero prepares for a fantastic battle. Along the way, she finds trustworthy friends, magical weapons and love  - exactly what she expected to find on a hero's journey - but will it be enough to save the day? 

Based on Yevgeny Schwarz’s 1943 play 'The Dragon', RAKSHAS is a fairy tale populated by strange creatures and colourful personalities. It brings together fantasy, comedy, romance and satire to tell a story of people who are trying to decide what their freedom is worth. As much a theatrical spectacle as it is a moral fable, it reflects upon what it takes to free yourself from the rakshas that lives within you. 

Cast: Ankit Pandey, Bhaskar Jha, Krittika Bhattacharjee, Piyush Kumar, Pranshu Shrimali, Saumya Jakhmola, Uma Katju

About the Organisation: The Tadpole Repertory is a theatre collective of actors, writers, musicians and designers based in New Delhi, India. The group is dedicated to presenting original writing and devised performances on subjects that are relevant and compelling to audiences today. Their approach to stagecraft seeks to rise above the limitations of independent theatre in the country, and to push its boundaries and conventions. 

Tadpole's productions include Taramandal, winner of the Hindu MetroPlus Playwright Award in 2010; a critically acclaimed production of The Winter’s Tale; Still and Still Moving, winner of two META Awards; NDLS, a variety sketch show about life in Delhi; This Will Only Take Several Minutes, a collaboration with Theatre Collective Hanchu-Yuei from Japan, and most recently, Quicksand. The Repertory also conducts regular workshops through its initiative, The Looking Glass Project.

Written and adapted by Irawati Karnik

Directed by Bikram Ghosh

This production is supported by the India Foundation for the Arts, under the Arts Practice Programme.
