Reimagining a forgotten past: Rupakriti brings a layered Gupta-era story to stage
Rong O Mukh's new play, Rupakriti, revives a Gupta-era tale of conflict and succession, focusing on Queen Dhruvadevi's assertion of voice. Directed by Shankar Bandyopadhyay, it draws from a lost Sanskrit play, highlighting early notions of women's liberation. The production features strong performances, particularly from Kabita Sonali as Dhruvadevi, exploring consent and choice within tradition.
