Displaced mountains, rivers and tribals, as characters roaming in the urban space, meet up with cobbler Madaiah who is an incarnation of Shiva himself. Together they take upon themselves the task of destroying the tyrannical and power-mad king Samana, who after enslaving the Moon and Sun, is in the process of enslaving the Earth.

Stunning in its contemporaneity of empowering the marginalised towards resisting the anti-people ruler, the text has fluid spaces for me to engage with a theatrical lingo. Over and above, as the denouement for most part is in the form of narration rather than dramatization, it threw a challenge to discover a telling, which is also enactment, to build the tension by moving between evocation and dramatics. Through music, movement, colour and form the actors act out and tell the story.
