Anuradha Kapur’s Virasat Recasts Wada as a Haunting Warning on Memory, Decay and False Progress
At Delhi’s Sunder Nursery, Anuradha Kapur’s Virasat offers a searching reimagining of Mahesh Elkunchwar’s Wada trilogy, turning a landmark of Indian theatre into a meditation on inheritance, erosion and the emotional cost of refusing change. The production is less a nostalgic revival than a disciplined warning: a dying past can be seductive, but modernity is not automatically salvation.
