India Foundation for the Arts in collaboration with MAHINDRA SANATKADA LUCKNOW FESTIVAL presents AKSHAYAMBARA: A theatrical exploration of gender in Yakshagana
Theatre Director Sharanya Ramprakash received a grant under the Arts Practice Program to create a theatrical production that explores the position of women and streevesha (female impersonation) within the male-dominated practice of Yakshagana. Drawing from research and personal experience, the performance imagines a reversal of roles in the popular Yakshagana plot of Draupadi Vastrapaharana, while seeking to explore the conflicts around tradition, gender, power, and morality inherent in the form. Sharanya is a stage actor, director and one of the founders of Dramanon, Bangalore. The Mahindra Sanatkada Festival seeks to provide a platform for classical, contemporary and folk music and theatre in Lucknow, to enable audience engagement with the arts. This year, the theme of the festival: 'Lucknow Ki Rachi Basi Tehzeeb', will focus on various regional communities, and two religo-cultural minorities (the Parsis and the Anglo-Indians) that have made Lucknow their home.
At: Main Chabutra, Baradari, Qaiser Bagh, Lucknow, 7.30pm
