AGNI MATTU MALE By MTG editorial Host-A-Performance | Schedule Director : Abhinav Grover Agni Mattu Male (1994) was written by Girish Karnad in Kannada and later translated to English as The Fire and The Rain (1997) by Karnad himself. Among the most complex works of Karnad, it is based on the myth of Yavakri from the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, it is known for an innovative reimagining of the epic’s characters and events. It is also a retelling of a lesser-known episode from the epic in which the Khandava forest is burned down by Agni, the fire god, with the help of Arjuna and Krishna to provide a sacrificial altar. Karnad combines multiple myths such as these to explore contemporary social, cultural, political, and psychological issues. Symbolism and allegories add to the depth of its narrative, making it a thought-provoking yet visually stunning experience. Known for its play-within-the-play method to depict the deception of brothers against brothers and fratricide and its timeless themes, the play continues to remain a significant work in the field of Indian theater and has been performed in multiple languages and at numerous theatre festivals.    AGNI MATTU MALE Play Schedule(s) No upcoming shows. read / post your comments More Previews 1971 36 SATI SAVITRI NIVASA A FRIEND BEYOND THE FENCE AASPHOTA AATA PAATA ABHIYANA ACHALAYATANA AGNI MATTU MALE ALLIBABA MATHU 40 KALLARU AMMA MATHU SUHAIL ANAVARATA ANKADA PARADE ANNANA NENAPU ANU RENU TRUNA KASTA ANUMANADA AVANTARA APARADHI NAANALLA ARANYA KANDA ASANGATAGALU ASHADADA ONDU DINA ASHUMA ASHWATHAMAN AYODHYA KANDA AYOMAYA BABA KARANTHA BAHADDUR GANDA BAY TUMBA NAKBIDI BEECHI HOUSE BEECHI RASAYANA BEG BORROW ALIYA BENDA KAALU ON TOAST BENGALURU NAGARATHNAMMA BHAIRAVI BILI ANGI OVER COAT BLACK OUT BOB MARLEY FROM KODIHALLI BURUKI VRATHA CHAVUNDARAYA CHEKHOV TO CHAMPAGNE CHITHRATHURAGA NYAAYA CHITRAPATA CHOMANA DUDI DACHAU DAKLAKATHA DEVIKAVYA DAKSHA YAJNA DASHANANA SWAPNASIDDHI DEVANAMPRIYA ASHOKA DHARMANATI DROPATHI HELTAVLE DWEEPA GAAMPARA GUMPU GAMPARA GUMPU GANGAVATHARANA GATHI GK MAASTARARA PRANAYA PRASANGA GODE GORURU GUNAMUKHA KANNADA PLAY HAAVU YENI HARISHANDRAKAVYA HAYAVADANA (B.
