MANSFIELD Steiner School’s Class Fives shared a wonderful performance of their play, Eklavya’s Sacrifice, last Thursday with the Mansfield Steiner School community during the day, and again that evening for family and friends.
The story, from the Mahabharata—an Indian epic told for thousands of years—centres on the rivalry between the Pandava and Kaurava families.
“We started with a basic script and the students added characters and dialogue to enliven the scenes and create additional parts so that every student could act and help tell the story,” said class teacher Lou Pullar.
“We were fortunate to have parents Abhi and Supriya assist us with cultural elements and costumes, as well as teaching us several mantras, which the students sang beautifully.”
Before the curtain rose, families gathered for a delicious Indian feast, adding an unforgettable touch of warmth and authenticity to the experience.
