About The Event
The play “Kalachakra” written by the famous Marathi playwright Jayavant Dalvi and translated into Kannada by H.K. Karkera is a story of a family. The main focus of this play is an elderly couple and their two sons. The children ignore their mother and father, who are suffering from illness. Knowing this, the elderly father publishes an advertisement in the newspaper.
"Those who don`t have children adopt children. Similarly, those who don`t have parents or grandparents shouldn`t adopt these old people? If they want. There are two elderly couples aged 70-75. They announce that they will take them and go.
A young man who reads this advertisement takes them to his home. When the two children see this and are about to send the old man to an old age home, the old father tells his children.
Yesterday you depended on us. Today we depend on you. This is a cycle.
What you are saying today, we
used to say in our youth
What we are saying today, you will
say in your old age
Is there any escape from this cycle?
Is it right to blame the elderly for being useless?
An influential play that seeks answers to these questions,
which has received many awards, is “Kalachakra”!
