Abstract

Girish Karnad’s Hayavadana (1971) is an experiment on a theme from folk-tale. Karnad has taken the plot of the play from Kathasaritsagara, an ancient collection of stories in Sanskrit. However, it is chiefly based on Thomas Mann’s retelling of the story of ‘The Transposed Heads’. Hayavadana by Karnad poses the problem of human identity in a world of tangled relationships. Karnad has successfully made use of conventions and motifs taken from folk-tales and folk-theatre.
