Summary:
The play is about Saint Basavanna. We will also set up a stage for an Anubhava Mantapa (the first Parliament set up by Basavanna in the 12th century). This time, apart from Kalagraama, we are planning to stage the play at Basavakalyana in Bidar district where the Anubhava Mantapa was set up by Basavanna. It was in 2010 that directorC Basavalingiah turned Jnanapeeth awardee Kuvempu’s novel Malegalalli Madhumagalu into a nine-hour long play performed by a cast of nearly 100 actors night and day. “We need this to take care of the 100 artists and also for the settings.” The play will be in town until February 29..
