My Theatre Cafe has invited Ebong Amra to perform a grand musical play "Mahakabyer Pare" (After The Epic) with his group of 27 artistes from West Bengal, on 4th December, at La Makaan. The show is written and directed by Kallol Bhattacharya, and the dialogues will be in Bengali and in Santhali. It starts at 8:00pm, and is of 1 hour in duration.

The play is based on the story of Eklabya in the Mahabharata. The Khastriyas are the rulers of the world. They create war for their own interest, and many innocent Sudras are killed. Several others are tortured and deprived for ages. To end this, the Sudras announce war against the Khastriyas. Eklabya is sent to learn the art of war from Dronacharya, the guru of Khastriyas. Bhattacharya revisits history from a different perspective in this work, and the production is based on physical acting, movements, choreography and music.

This play has also been shortlisted and is being staged in the recognized and respected Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2011, in New Delhi.
