Venugaan

A dance-theatre in Hindi

Krishna is universally remembered as an incarnation of complete divinity in human form. Though he was deified and glorified he too was a human caught in the vortex of its joys and sorrows.

In Venugaan, Krishna is not just love of Bridavan or the successful king of Dwaraka as we know him. He is, instead, an ambitious man who- on the last day of his life- is questioning the right and wrong of his actions; fighting with doubts about appropriate or inappropriate decisions taken.

In the final moments before his giving up his life flashes of memories with Radha, Rukmini, Arjuna, Kunti, Gandhari have ambushed him…. his tragic journey of ambition haunts him…. his life has become an unsolvable mystery.
