Event Description : THEATRE : SRCPA Repertory presents Girish Karnad's "Agni Aur Barkha" Hindi Play

‘The Fire and The Rain’ is like reliving the age-old myth even as its multi-faceted characters, which transcend time, play out its inexorable end; of power, love, lust and sacrifice.
Paravasu is the eldest son of the great sage Raibhya. For seven long years he has performed the fire sacrifice to appease the gods and get rains for the drought-ridden land. He has forsaken his wife Vishakha, his brother – Arvasu and all worldly pursuits. His exalted position of Chief Priest of the sacrifice creates discord and animosity within his own family. Arvasu is in love with a tribal girl – Nittilai, is all set to defy his upper caste Brahmin norms and marry her. The appearance of Lord Indra at the end is testament to Arvasu’s essential goodness and faith. His dialogue with the God leads him towards the path of duty and spiritual growth, through sacrifice. The purity of his love for Nittilai triumphs as the parched land is granted rain and its people salvation.

The director KS Rajendran says “The game of love, lust and power forms the axis of the play. Drawing upon the traditional movements and gestures, we evolved a few scenes in stylised form and the rest of them realistic.”
