Young performers bring an epic tale alive on stage

Young performers took centre stage on Saturday as YMC Studio presented an adaptation of the Mahabharat, showcasing the talent and dedication of its young cast. The production, put together after just 15 days of intensive rehearsals, saw children portray characters such as Shakuni Mama and Draupadi with confidence and sincerity.Mentored by Pratigya Ghosh, the initiative aimed to introduce children to the Mahabharat beyond its mythology, encouraging them to understand the emotions, conflicts and choices that define its characters. Through theatre, the young actors explored themes of duty, morality and resilience while developing their own creative expression.

The performance was supported by elaborate sets, creative costumes and thoughtful lighting design, while dance sequences added to the storytelling.
