Deconstructing Sakuntala: A One Woman Experiment
This solo work-in-progress dramatizes Sakuntala’s poem from Michael Madhusdan Dutt’s Birangana Kabyo. Abandoned by her husband-king, the humble forest-maiden is given a voice in Dutt’s work. But what if Sakuntala made her case today? With Dutt’s bicentenary fast-approaching, this work-in-progress reimagines the poem through a contemporary feminist lens. Adapted from Dutt’s original script and an English translation by Naheed Islam.
