Here, I would like to mention briefly about the plays we selected.
ANNAYYANA MANAVA SHASTHRA
An outstanding short story of Kannada Literature, A.K.Ramanujan’s Annayana Maanava Shaastra focuses on the dilemma of foreign mind versus native heart, on the platform of traditionally descended culture. Being far from homeland, Chicago, Annayya, on the path to unfold the mystery of his native culture, will eventually come face to face with the unknown tragedies of his own life.This story becomes more relevant in today’s scenario of globalization, where each individual is putting himself inevitably in uncomfortable situations.
MAAYAMRUGA
Maayamruga is a unique story in Kannada Literature, not just by the theme, but also by the way its narrated. It’s a journey to discover the mystery of death, on an abstract path. Looking at the possibilities of human belief, from a lighter perspective, it reflects the facts of failure in doing so. Though Shah and Chandru, try to prove their scientific perspective by discarding the superstitious beliefs, they get caught in their own dilemma and will be shocked by the mystery of life.
