As part of the Semester end production the present batch students enacted “Kariya Devara Huduki”, a play originally written by Sh G Sankara Pillai, translated by Dr. Naa Damodara Shetty.
Kariya Devara Huduki (Karutta Daivatte Tedi) a prolonged saga for every individual who wish to explore and exhume various stages of his life. Critics while understanding it symbolically have expressed their views through writings - appreciating and condemning the play. The play never voice or propagate the manifesto of any political party or religious emotions or of any sect. Exploration becomes inevitable to every human being; absconding from the disasters becomes inevitable too. Priests, fortune tellers, religious leaders, political tycoons take him towards various kinds of fair God. He is over weighed with worldly load that has made him deaf dumb and at the end people draws a closure to him for whom he fought all his life.
There seem to be no final solution to these situations – similar scenes have repeated over the centuries in myriad forms and stories.
The desire of placing these metaphors through a medium of a play is fulfilled. The theme of the play can transcend place and time; consequently it may be modified to enrich its vigour and vividness of the play.
