About

Eclipses are one amongst creation`s multiple natural events. Eclipses have occurred in the past and will continue to occur in the future as well.

Similarly, eclipses occur in the life of humans as well. After all, humans are a part of nature as well, aren`t they?

"Kantu", one of the best stories authored by the famous writer, Vivek Shanbhag, attempts to simultaneously look at the eclipse involving planetary motions along with the eclipse befalling humans, who are but bundles of harmony and hate.

Our team, Samashti, will be staging a play based on this story with the title of the story itself. Based in the 1990s, the play tries to unravel the complexities and confusions on human life along with the creations` natural activities. Along with this, the irony of the "Everything is for sale" culture where men are not just ready to sell off their houses, culture and ideologies but also entire villages for money has been ridiculed. The play progresses within the boundaries of light situational humor and holds a mirror to the prominent phenomenons of the 90s vis a vis globalization, liberalization and privatization.

According to the innocent inhabitants of Maavinooru, representative of most of the villages in India, theirs is the most ancient and greatest culture, art, rituals, ideologies etc. But if money is offered they are ready to sell all of these without thinking twice to the foreigners who have come to witness the eclipse. "Kantu" is a humourous play about the eclipse that is about to set on Maavinooru and the eclipse that has already befallen the people of Maavinooru. Enacted by Samashti, this play is a theatrical presentation of the story "Kantu" by the famous storyteller, Vivek Shanbhag.
