Yasodhara’s story in silence

Audiences in a traditional theatre typically watch a play from a single side or a frontal perspective, with ample distance between actors and spectators. However, Gulaf , currently staged at Mandala Theatre in Kathmandu, deviates from this conventional setting. The play offers a unique experience, breaking away from the norm of being observed solely from a front view.

Directed by Ram Hari Dhakal, Gulaf engages audiences in an unusual setting. The two actors find themselves within a transparent white curtain, positioned to face each other on a stage placed at the centre of a hall, allowing spectators to surround it from all directions.
