Mayamruga

The

"Mayamruga": The title refers to a "mirage-like" creature

or a "magical animal," symbolizing the irrational, superstitious

beliefs that people often chase or fear.

The play highlights from the works of renowned Kannada writer Poornachandra

Tejaswi's rational, yet deeply observational, look at human nature, focusing on

the absurdity of superstitions and sometimes absurd, reality of human behaviour

and sometimes spooky, experiences into a profound and funny reflection on life,

consistent with Poornachandra Tejaswi's signature literary style. The play

revolves around Tejaswi and his friends exploring a graveyard in search of a

"ghost" or a "supernatural" entity. It explores the human

tendency to believe in superstitions and the irrational, turning it into a,

often satirical and humorous, narrative.

This play

has been produced by theatre group "Dhwani" and the play will be

staged at Ranga Shankara in Bengaluru, Directed by Prithvi Aradhya.
