'Moksha Talks' presents Roktokorobi: The Play and Playing with Metaphors, featuring interdisciplinary artist Sujoy Prosod Chatterjee and academician Nandini Mukherjee.
In our first episode, we delved into the background of Tagore's 'Roktokorobi' in its 100th year. We explored the essence of the play, its key characters, and notably, we emphasized the character 'Nandini'. Our discussion centered around Nandini's relationships with other characters and, most significantly, her evolving dynamics with the 'King' throughout the course of the play.
Moreover, we shared excerpts from Tagore's essay defending the play after a certain part of Tagore's audience in England labeled the play as 'obscure'.
Our conversation further led us to draw parallels between Nandini and 'Draupadi' from the Mahabharata, fostering a comparative analysis.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we will explore various prominent theatre productions of 'Roktokorobi' and much more.
