DescriptionHayavadana was one of the first modern Indian plays to employ traditional theatrical techniques. It also simultaneously drew thematic influences from Thomas Mann's 1940 novella 'The Transposed Heads.' The following adaptation was performed by the Epic Actors Workshop during Girish Karnad's visit to Rutgers University in October 2011, where he read his work in select classes and fielded questions about his collective body of work.
NoteOriginally recorded as an event that was open to the public at Douglass Campus, Rutgers University on October 13, 2011.
