About The Event
Yugant, written by Mahesh Elkunchwar is the culmination of his trilogy, the famous Wada Chirebandi (Old Stone Mansion) trilogy.
Only three members (Parag, Nandini, and their son Bal) remain of this once-populous Deshpande family. The fourth (Abhay, their cousin) arrives visiting from distant cold shores of Sweden. It`s almost a decade since we last met them in the second part of `The Pond` of the trilogy in their village, Dharangaon, in Maharashtra.
The apocalypse has arrived. The whole landscape is steeped in dust, and a grueling sun beats down. Torn walls, broken-down houses, vultures, animal carcasses, and water in meager quantities. A few members of the Deshpande family have died, and a few have migrated, the once formidable stone mansion is now an old decaying shadow of itself, much like the larger village in which it is situated. Against this backdrop, the cousins reunite with Nandini (Parag, the older cousin`s wife) as the stoic witness and their Uncle Chandu, a lost, tattered soul who has reluctantly returned home after years of aimless wandering and spiritual seeking. The ensuing conversation is a meditation on the momentariness of life and the bonds that inextricably tie us to our community and the perennial question about the world we leave behind for our children.
