About

In the ancient settlement of Burzohm, Maag reimagines Shakespeare`s Macbeth as a dystopian tale steeped in the rich cultural tapestry of Kashmir. This groundbreaking opera unfolds in lyrical Kashmiri verse, seamlessly blending the traditional folk theatre of Bhaand Pather with avant-garde, post-postmodern performance art. Conceived by the Theatre for Kashmir team, Maag transforms the theatrical experience through its daring performance design and innovative storytelling.


The opera’s minimalist cast underscores its experimental ethos, with each performer embodying multiple roles and seamlessly shifting between characters. The three enigmatic shamans, personified as a Cat, Hyena, and Raven, are brought to life through striking physicality and symbolic costumes, each reflecting their influence over the protagonist`s fate. The performance design emphasizes fluidity, using abstract props and modular sets that evoke the ancient world of Burzohm while inviting contemporary interpretations.


Maag pushes the boundaries of conventional staging with its use of experimental shadow play, dynamic lighting, and immersive soundscapes. The eerie whispers of the shamans, interwoven with traditional Kashmiri musical motifs, create a haunting auditory experience that amplifies the opera’s emotional intensity. The integration of Bhaand Pather’s satirical exuberance with postmodern movement choreography lends the production a vibrant yet introspective rhythm.
