JAMMU, Feb 27: Natrang presented an enthralling performance of its famous Hindi play, ‘Mind Games’ at Abhinav Theatre, here today.
Rakesh Gupta, Principal Secretary, Forests, Ecology, Environment and Remote Sensing, J&K Government, was the chief guest while Naveen Kumar Chowdhary, Commissioner Secretary, Finance Department, J&K, presided over the function. Simrandeep Singh, District Development Commissioner, Jammu was the special guest at the occasion. The show was sponsored by Dhruv Institute, Jammu and 92.7 Big FM was the radio partner of the event.
‘Mind Games’ is highly experimental play which is conceived, written and directed by Sumeet Sharma. The play ‘Mind Games’ unveils a very common, unconscious and continuous practice of all human beings, chatting with Mind and creating baseless abstract stories all the times, which give rise to thoughts which when nurtured become attitude and eventually shape our behaviour and personality causing success or failure.
The play revolves around a character Ajeet, who represents the mind model of a contemporary man whose rejections, anxiety, likes, dislikes, passions, reasons, fears, emotions, fantasies, dreams, etc. have a lot to share with all of us. The absurd thoughts which he develops create humour but unknowingly we are laughing at our own habits and short-sightedness while laughing at him.
The theme of the play ‘Mind Games’ is universal yet unique. It does not reflect the story of one particular character or situation but showcases the instinctive behaviour of all human beings.
Sumeet Sharma played the central character of the play ‘Ajeet’, Gaurav Jamwal acted as ‘Krish’, Shivani Chowdhary as ‘Simran’, Pawan Verma as ‘Boss’, Rahul Singh as ‘Kumar’ and Mohd Yaseen as ‘Peon’.
Others who participated in the play include Ankush Lakhnotra, Rajan Thakyal, Vishal Sharma, Piyush Anand, Abhi Bargotra, Aishwarya Sathe, Shivika Verma, Sameena Kousar, Sachin Sharma and Kuldeep Angral.
Lights were executed by Neeraj Kant and the Music was rendered by Shivam Singh and Rishabh Sharma. The show was presented by Aarushi Thakur.
