Mysuru: The Hindu epic of ‘Ramayana,’ has no doubt brought out the camaraderie between brothers Rama and Lakshmana. But the audience at Kalamandira got to witness some emotional moments between two other warring brothers — Vali and Sugriva — as written by Rashtrakavi Kuvempu in “Poondenagniye Sakshi” and “Ni Satyavrathane Ditam,” verses of ‘Sri Ramayana Darshanam’. Artistes of Sri Gajanana Yuvaka Mandala, Sheshagiri, Haveri, gave a commendable performance of the play ‘Vali Vadhe’ which was directed by M. Ganesh, on the second day of ‘Rangavalli Rangasambhrama’ at Kalamandira here yesterday. In the director’s words, the team that performed was a second generation of families at Sheshagiri which depend mostly on agriculture and are passionate about theatre art. Also among the artistes was an auto driver and a person who runs a small hotel ‘Ranga Priya’ at Sheshagiri. All of them have a common connecting thread — love of theatre.
