Event Description

After performing to full houses earlier this month at Ranga Shankara, the Gajanana Yuvaka Mandala's 'Vali Vadhe' goes online with Ranga Shankara's 'Staged@RS' programme! This will be the fourth play under Ranga Shankara's 'Staged@RS' digital streaming programme, supported by the Infosys Foundation.

'Vali Vadhe' is based on Kuvempu's 'Shri Ramayanadarshanam'. The musically oriented play seamlessly blends elements of Yakshagana, Kalaripayattyu, and a Manipuri art form. 'Vali Vadhe' is directed by young and exceptionally talented Kannada theatre artiste Ganesh Mandarthi. The Kannada play will also have English subtitles.

While the play pays homage to one of the country's most well-known epics, it also adapted to present audiences an insight into relationships and a taste of Kannada literature. It uses ancient stories of India, from Kuvempu's 'Pundena Agni Saakshi' and 'Neem Sathyavrathaneditem', to show the depth of love.

'Vali Vadhe' will premiere on Fri, 26th Mar 2021 on www.insider.in. It will be available for viewing till 11:59 PM IST on Mon, 5th April 2021. The show will be available to national and international audiences.
