A performance of ‘Dakshayagam’ in the capital city pointed out how inflated egos can rend asunder familial ties. Although set in a mythical background, Irayimman Thampi’s ‘Dakshayagam’ is all about relationships and associated troubles, that all of us are familiar with. Against the wish of Siva, Sati reached the place and gets humiliated. However, he was much livelier as he presented Siva bringing out Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali out of his locks of hair and asking them to decapitate Daksha. The play was staged under the auspices of Drisyavedi, as part of their monthly Kathakali programme.
