Natyalay to present ‘Nagamandal’ today at Deshapriya Club

Thursday, 30 January 2025 | PNS | Ranchi

Natyalay will present the play ‘Nagamandal’ at 6 PM at Deshpriya Club in the city on Thursday, January 30. The story of the play focuses on a woman named Rani who lives a dull and boring life with her husband Appanna. After a tantric ritual by Kurudhwa, Rani inadvertently comes into her life with the Ichhadhari Naaga (Nagappa), who gives her the opportunity to express her desires and emotions. In this form she faces a complicated relationship with her husband and her unknown lover. Through the play, Karnad raises deep questions about life, love, and identity.

The play comments on the social status of women and their freedom. The character of Rani challenges the pressures put on women by society and their limited role. It shows that individuality and desires are suppressed due to social pressures. Philosophically, the play questions whether the distinction between reality and myth is clear, or whether the complexities and hidden aspects of human life can only be understood symbolically. The play also shows that the boundaries between love, loyalty, and self-possession are often blurred, and that there is no clear path of morality in human life. Nagamandal proves that the real meaning of women's empowerment is not just in fulfilling social obligations, but in accepting one's own desires, identity, and self-reliance.

In the play on stage performances will be given by Rani - Tanvi Bardiyar and Anushka Bhadra, Appanna - Sukanth Thakur, Nagappa - Suraj Kumar Mishra, Kurudhawa/Andhi Maa - Ayushi Bhadra, Kapanna - Shivam Manoharan, Kahani - Shruti Raj Laxmi, Writer (Manushya) - Badal Sahu and Sunny Deogham, Flames (Jyoti) - Roshan Kumar, Abhishek Kumar, Sakshi Priya, Village head - Badal Sahu and Sunny Deogham, Villagers - Jyoti, Roshan Kumar, Abhishek Kumar, Sakshi Priya and Dog - Saksham Manoharan.
