About The Event
ANDHA YUG is one of the most celebrated works of modern Hindi theatre, written by Dharamveer Bharti and brought to the stage by Dastak Theatre, Patna, under the direction of Punj Prakash. First published in 1954, this landmark poetic drama uses the aftermath of the Mahabharata war to explore the moral, spiritual, and emotional collapse of a civilization consumed by violence, revenge, and the pursuit of power.
Set on the final day of the Kurukshetra war, the play follows the inner conflicts of characters such as Dhritarashtra, Gandhari, Yudhishthira, Ashwatthama, and Krishna. Rather than retelling an epic, Andha Yug examines guilt, vengeance, responsibility, and the devastating human cost of war.
With its rich poetic language, powerful symbolism, and deeply philosophical narrative, the play remains strikingly relevant in today's world. It reminds us that war has no true victors, the greatest defeat is the loss of humanity, compassion, and moral conscience.
Presented through a visually compelling theatrical experience, Andha Yug is a timeless reflection on civilization, violence, and the choices that shape our collective future.
