The word ‘shillak’ literally means
savings; funds set aside or something that is left behind. Every time
a society faces a socio-economic change, left behind are the echoes
of the demands by that change, in the minds of the sufferers. What
the next generation inherits from the past is the cracked, the
fractured and the uncertain present. An average middle class family
generally depends entirely on the father, the head of the house, for
all necessities. Shillak peers into one such home and brings out the
deep-seated distortions in its image brought about by these times of
retrenchments and lay-offs.

Matte Eklavya - Play:
Event Date: Mar 07 2013
Event Time: 07:30 PM Event duration:

Ekalavya represents the most peripheral
edge in the Mahabharata. If Vyasa defines Karna as a mere leaf in the
great tree of the Mahabharata, then one can imagine that, Ekalavya
occupies a ‘zero space’. But he is also a great source of hope,
because of his resurrection through self learning. The play examines
his sources of knowledge.
