Yoashang hut - photo by E-Pao/Fancy Photo Studio
Dear all,
I am trying to give you all a visual introduction to the social background of my play. Lets start with the makeshift hut. Yaoshang literally means sheep's hut. Children make this hut and wait for the priest to come with an idol of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. After a puja, the hut will be burnt in the evening; signalling the start of the year's Holi. Children in their newest clothes will go around the neighbourhood in small groups, begging for alms. They will knock at every door and announce "naa-ka-theng".
