Event Description

Sanchaya presents the play ‘Ondu Matteradu’, an anthology of 3 different stories. This collaborative work by three young directors (Sumadhura Rao, Vasantha Krishnamurthy and Prithvi Venugopal) is uniquely presented.

Original story: Olangana

Author: Jayanth Kaikini

Script, Design & Direction : Sumadhura Rao

About the play: Jayanth Kaikini is a renowned Kannada author known for his depiction of the struggles of contemporary life. "Olangana" is one such work of his with a gripping storyline. The story is set against the backdrop of scenic Ankola in Uttara Kannada District. It portrays the agony and pain of an elderly couple longing for their children, who have emigrated to town. As the story progresses one begins to empathize with the characters while their lives undergo major turmoil. The thin line between public and personal spaces is blurred when their privacy is invaded.

Play : P to M Conceptualization

Design, and Direction: Vasantha Krishnamurthy

About the play: The crux of this short play is womanhood and her struggles. It is something that all genders need to be aware of. There is an unstated taboo around a very natural biological process that every woman undergoes. It illustrates the ups & downs of physical & mental stress they endure and large ignorance among society about the topic.

Original Story: Enemies

Author: Anton Chekov

Adaptation: M C Anand

Design and Direction: Prithvi Venugopal

Anton Chekov is well-known for his realistic yet highly dramatic portrayal of human emotions. This play based on his story - `Enemies` is a comment on the individualistic Ego and selfishness present in society. It demonstrates that unhappiness doesn`t bring people together but draws them apart. Pride subduing humanity is subtlety expressed throughout the length of the play.
