Incomplete dreams, incomplete play: the process of transcreating Kuvempu’s magnum opus novel into a 9-hour play
Keywords:
art, drama, literature, transcreating novelAbstract
An admittedly hugely popular novel among Kannada readers, “MalegalalliMadhumagalu,” Kuvempu's magnum opus written in 1967 is a story revolving around the characters of the then prevailing feudal system. Novels are a Kannada dream. Nothing happens in the novel according to the reader's expectations. Novels constantly break our experiences and the incomplete dreaming process continues every time we read a novel.
