Nihsango Ishwar
Nihsango Ishwar explores the last day of Lord Krishna’s life, set after the Kurukshetra battle and Lord Balarama’s death. Alone in a forest, Krishna reflects on his life, not as God but as a human. He confronts his past actions, including his relationships, political ambitions, and moral choices, and questions the true meaning of his existence. Desiring to cast aside his divine identity, he grapples with the inevitability of his fate and the conflict between his human desires and his godly essence. Somewhere against his own infallible words “Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,” a repressed lonely man emerges from within him.

In Krishna, I am trying to explore this historical, multi-dimensional and versatile character from an anti-Romantic point of view. Nihsango Ishwar revolves around the conflicts between his godly image, his karmas, and his personal woes, wishes, and pain as a mortal. Here, he is not God; rather, he is human, of flesh and blood. He cries, crawls, screams, and even views himself as a loser, which contradicts his own belief: “Maa phaleshu kadachana”. I am grateful to Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Nabin Chandra Sen, Gourchandra Saha, Rabindranath Thakur. Nrisinhaprasad Bhaduri, all of whom have had deep influences on me in envisaging this production.
