*The Story:  *

* Once upon a time, there used to be a King and a Queen, who had 7 daughters
but were longing for a son, who would be the next king. A sadhu granted
their wish on the condition that they will have to return the boy to him
after 12 years. Akanandun was born and the promise that the king and the
queen had made was forgotten. Then one day, after 12 years, the sadhu
appeared and asked for Akanandun to be killed.  The story describes the
emotions of parents who are faced with a conflict between keeping a promise
and that of breaking it.    *

Generations of Kashmiri’s have heard this story in the form of a D*astaan* –
which is a particular style of narration and singing.  For this occasion we
have decided to experiment and present the story in a contemporary dance
form. We feel that this most unusual experiment is the right tribute to a
boy who was also unusual in his ways.
