KAUMUDI (Moonlight) - a play in Hindi - is about a rite of passage. Using the moonlit timeless night on which Krishna delivered knowledge to Arjuna as its central trope, KAUMUDI explores the dynamics between an estranged father-son duo who play Eklavya's ghost and Abhimanyu respectively, in a theatre in late 1960'ss Allahabad, over three days - the last three performances of a great actor who has nearly lost his sight; and, in so doing, the play brings to light the ghosts of caste-based injustices, the passing over of knowledge from a father to a son, a thespian to an upstart, the banality and beauty of art, and how an efficient mode of production ultimately replaces a lesser efficient mode. The play is inspired by two texts: Anand's
Malayalam Novel 'Vyasam Vigneswaram'; and Jorge Luis Borges' essay ‘Blindness’.
