Lady From the Sea
Directed by Ila Arun

After a hard day of tackling PQs, I was more than happy to attend this wonderful play at Kamani on 2nd December 2010. Directed by Ila Arun, it is a wonderful adaptation of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's play Lady From the Sea.
It was performed in the Pabuji ka phad tradition of Rajasthan. The Pabuji ka phad tradition dates back to the 14th century when the martial exploits of a Rajput Rathod hero from the Bhopa community Pabuji were sung as ballads by local villagers from painted scrolls which would include both art and poetry.
An amazing rendition - both witty and intelligent - I really enjoyed it and I'm so glad I did this.
