Theatre personality Arundhati Raja is all set to present an English adaptation of Girish Karnad’s Kannada classic, Hittina Hunja — Bali: The Sacrifice in Bengaluru. Her journey from balancing teaching sciences with theatre to focusing solely on theatre has led her to revisit a play she had previously staged. In a recent interview, she discusses utilizing AI in the directing process, the challenges faced in restaging the play, and her thoughts on the evolving landscape of English theatre in Bengaluru.
