Observing a grand theatre festival in the memory of renowned theatre artist BV Karanth, Surabhi Theatre Group, a popular theatre troupe from Hyderabad, is giving a tribute to the artist by staging its three productions. Here on Tuesday, the theatre troupe Surabhi staged Shri Krishna leelalu at Antarang Hall, Bharat Bhawan. Notably, the four-day event is being organised by Multi Art Centre, Bharat Bhawan.
Shri Krishna leelalu is one of the hit productions of Surabhi Theatre Group. The story deals with the birth of lord Krishna. As the wicked king Kamsa do the misdeeds towards the Dharma, torture the good people and stopped the devotees of Maha Vishnu, and other angels request lord Vishnu to save them.
lord Vishnu gives them the assurance of saving them from the wicked demons by incarnating himself in as the eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva. And will be called with the name Krishna.
As Kamsa learned about the pledge of lord Vishnu, he wants to kill the will born infants of Vasudeva and Devaki. Thus he captures the couple and kills all the seven infants as they just born. With the miracle of lord Vishnu, all the guards fall deep asleep when Devaki gives birth to the her eighth child. Vasudeva brings the child to Reppalle, the village which is at the other side of the river Yamuna. As he crosses the river, the five headed snake acts as umbrella to protect the infant from the rain. Vasudeva successfully and hideously replaces Krishna with the baby infant (Yoga Maya) of Yasodha, wife of the clan leader Nanda. Kamsa thinks that the baby infant is the eighth child of Devaki and tries to kill the infant but fails. Krishna grows as a kid in Repalle. With many miracles, Krishna kills all the demons those come to kill him. And he gives a variety experience of joy to the villagers with his deeds. As Krishna grows, Kamsa invites Krishna and his brother Balarama to the Dhanuryaga and wants to kill Krishna in the ceremony. But finally Krishna kills Kamsa and frees his parents and other prisoned people thus to establish Dharma. The stage craft was the eye catching factor of the play. Further the brilliant acting skills and lighting captured applauses from the audiences.
