"Na Hanyate" - न हन्यते (It Does Not Die) - is a Khelaiya Productions' musical for 2022, to be performed in English.
The musical is based on novel of same name written by Maitreyi Devi, an Indian poetess and a novelist who was the protegée of the great Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. In 1976, the writer received India's top literary award, the Sahitya Akademi Award, for her novel.
This is a story of two youngsters falling in love from a different cultural background in 1930. The narrative is beautifully woven with rich heritage and folk/regional music of West Bengal. Set in old Calcutta in the Colonial era, the musical is not to be missed.
Na Hanyate Shlok Translation:
na jāyate mriyate vā kadāchin
nāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ
ajo nityaḥ śhāśhvato ’yaṁ purāṇo
na hanyate hanyamāne śharīre
The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is without birth, eternal, immortal and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed.
Duration: 3 hours, including 20 minute interval
