The Man and His Shadow

Enormously generous in a transactional world- Karna is a man torn. There are winners and losers in a war. He lost. We often simplify a war to be Good versus Evil. But is it ever that simple? Are we all caught sometimes on the wrong side? Is Karna that seed within us that manifests as complex dilemma. Whose war did he fight? What war do we fight? Was it his own battle against his identity? Do we ‘find’ ourselves in times of war or in times of peace? Silenced by both sides in the end, where does Karna find voice?

We trace the events in the life of KARNA that shaped his character. In the process, we urge the audience to go beyond Karna’s life – for dilemma is integral to human existence.
