There lived a weaver in a village. People referred to him as Kabir because of his prowess with the needle and tenacity, weaving vines, bushes and plants into carpets, shawls and blankets. One day, the king and his daughter travel to his village and she insists on viewing Kabir’s talent. Impressed with his abilities, they want to reward him, but Kabir declines. The king issues an angry order. Kabir does nothing, aware that one man’s rage is futile. The day the spark of fury ignites in the hearts of all people there will be no king or servant, no castes, no division in society, no temple or mosque, and no human being would have the authority to use the force of a sword to destroy others.

Flying Feathers Art Association (Delhi) presents Lakshmi Narayan Lal’s Vyaktigat, directed by Rajesh Singh.
In this absurdist play, a Man likes a Woman; as a bank employee, he takes a bribe and presents her with a necklace. She finds this unethical and asks him to live honourably but he continues with his ways and sinks deeper and deeper into depravity. He loses his job and asks his wife to get employment. When finally he becomes aware of his selfishness and blindness, he has already subjugated himself. He tries to get out of it, supported by his wife in this endeavour, but he has grown so accustomed to his practices that he remains trapped in them. A man has been granted liberty by our society to do as he wishes, to take or snatch whatever he likes as if he owns the universe.
