The first evening of monthly theatre festival
Natyadhara
at
Bhanjakala Mandap
saw a play by
Sataabdiraa Kalakara
. The play
Machha Kaandanaara Swar
kept the audience hooked to the stage proceedings. Written by
Rati Ranjan Mishra
and directed by
Dhira Mallick
, the story talks about the valour of Bhuyan tribal people of the then Keunjhar kingdom, who had rebelled against their king but were defeated by the ruler who sought help from British. The story also talks about the first Odia story writer
Fakir Mohan Senapati
, who was a manager of the king. The play depicts a pre-independent picture of Odisha, mostly in the tribal-dominated Kendujhar area.
