Jigyasa says that this work is a Kathak nritya natika in the English language, set in five scenes, on a canvas of poetry, dialogues and dance.
This dance drama, which runs for 70 minutes, takes the audience through a few pages of the Mahabharat, from the game of dice to Draupadi’s humiliation, the war thereafter and what it signifies for today’s world.
