DURGA is the Holiest Goddess revered that she invaded the evil power from this earth. The play begins with the meditation pray by Mahisasura, the king of Asura for Bramha, the creator of the Universe. His hard devotion succeeds to visit Bramha. Then Mahisasura got the Grant Blessing of power not to die from hands of any Devas or any power but except the hands of Women. Mahisha returned to his kingdom. Free from fear of death, he began amassing a great army. A brave Demon, the Rakshasa, become commander-in-chief. They began invading all the neighboring kingdoms. This army of oppression blew away all opposition, and soon, Mahisha became the overlord of the entire earth. After this there was killings and a lot oppressive happenings in this earth. Then Devas went to the Bramha and told that this earth is now scrambled by the Mahisaura. The Lord Bramha told what he granted him – then they went to Shiva for the help. After a long discussion Mother Parvati, the wife of Shiva became DURGA and killed Mahisaura.
About Breakthrough Theatre
Breakthrough Theatre formed in 1994. It was a very important turning point that the proscenium theatre had not quite made its impact on the general public and no new forms had come into existence. At this time young theatre workers came up with a unique idea of stage and theatre. They chose street and proscenium arch for presentation of the plays. Breakthrough Theatre came at this period. The objective of Breakthrough Theatre is to preserve Nepali Theatre Culture and Cultural Heritage in Nepal. For this, Breakthrough Theatre invited all theatre people over to join the talk programmes about Theatre Crisis in Nepal in 1995 and then organised a three days symposium on Past, Present and Future of Nepali Theatre in 1999 to evoke the condition of Nepali Theatre and urge Nepali theatre veteran to act for the betterment of theatre. Furthermore, Breakthrough Theatre trained different young theatre artists and implemented a month-long Theatre Expedition around Annapurna Himalayas (crossing high pass Thorong-La, 17,500 ft.) to support VNY '98 (Visit Nepal Year '98) programme in 1997. Breakthrough Theatre always seeks to promote Nepali theatre workers and help to develop their skills
