About The Event
Maari Kaadu, a Kannada adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth by Jnanpith awardee Chandrashekhara Kambar, transforms the timeless tragedy into a vibrant folk tale rooted in native lore. Set in the mysterious and symbolic Maari forest, the play follows Madakari—a warrior consumed by greed and unable to decipher the forest’s cryptic warnings. With haunting characters like Kampilaraya, Beera Nayaka, and a queen wielding fearsome power, Maari Kaadu explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the inevitable downfall of those who defy nature`s order.
