Event Description

Abhadra tells a compelling story that celebrates the rich culture and heritage of the Bhojpur region while simultaneously addressing struggles experienced by the community. It underscores how our actions, words and gestures can unintentionally erode the delicate fabric of cultural identity. The production delves into the erosion of rich heritage due to life’s struggles, poverty and migration. The production explores the challenges that migration brings upon people, including subjugation of their language, culture and existence.
