JAMMU, June 11: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Teen Apaahij’, written by Vipin Kumar Aggarwal and directed by Neeraj Kant. Speaking on the occasion Director Natrang, Padmashree Balwant Thakur said that such intellectual plays written by top writers of the country carry immense value both for performers as well as spectators.
The play was assisted by Sushane Dulloo and Vanshika Pandoh.
In the play three characters Kallu, Khallu and Gallu are shown sitting under a lamp post doing nothing and just passing comments on everything.
They communicate with each other in an incoherent manner and nothing matters to the audience. Yet, they constantly have the feeling that there is something to what is happening around us.
The meaning of freedom, the useless speeches of leaders, language, class etc all are debated and it seems to be aimless even though everything is necessary. Passivity, meaninglessness, confusion, fatigue etc of a large section of the society are pushing this society and the country towards collective disability.
The author tries to show that in the process of becoming modern the society today is forgetting its human nature and has reached the era of disability.
Natrang experimented this production with new generation actors Vishal Sharma, Abhimanyu Choudhary and Sumit Bandral. They were supported by Sheryar Salaria and Kushal Bhat.
Lights of the play were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant whereas the sound was scored by Aadesh Dhar.
The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen and the presentations were done by Mahikshit Singh.
