The Telugu play Barbareekudu is an attempt at unearthing the caste conflict in the epic war of Kurukshetra in Mahabharata. Barbareekudu was a tribal prince warrior of Dandakaranya. With his towering machismo, he could have defeated the Kauravas or the Pandavas, or even both. But as the one who safeguards Dharma, he took the side of the Pandavas.
The play delineates the enigma surrounding the mysterious disappearance of the tribal warrior who had a secret meeting with Pandavas on the eve of the war. The role played by the Almighty, Sri Krishna, forms the crux of the story.
The original story is from the Telugu anthology of the untold mythological stories (Apoorva Purana Kathalu, available at book stores) written by the writer duo Sauda & Aruna. It is being directed by them, under the banner of the Sauda-Aruna Theatre Movement.
