JAMMU, Sept 1: Natrang today staged “Bheed Main Raunda Hua Aadmi”, a Hindi play in its Sunday Theatre Series at its studio theatre.
The play has been written by Vinod Kumar and directed by Neeraj Kant. The play very symbolically and effectively portrayed the deteriorating condition of a common man in the present society.
The play presents a situation where everyone is engrossed in his/her own interests, irrespective of the growth and development of the society as a whole.
A poor man who has recently got a job wants to elevate his life but encounters many hurdles in it. As he is shabbily dressed, no one pays any heed to him on the contrary he is humiliated everywhere because of his appearance and status and also for his dream to live a so called high-class life. The play very beautifully shows that there are very rare chances for a common man to make his own identity and fortunately if someone gets it, he would be forced to be a part of the crowd and live according to their desires. After all this oppression, one is left with no option but to be a part of the mob as it appears the only way for the survival, no matter if it resembles the life of the insects but still it is life and the weak and the meek accept it. The metaphor of the mob had played a vital role in the play.
Natrang actors who presented the play included Ashwani Bali, Mohammad Yaseen, Uplaksh Singh Kotwal, Susheel Raina, Neha Sharma, Sheetal Sharma, Mahikshit Singh Sambyal, Pankaj Verma and Bhupesh Malhotra.
The lights were designed by Rahul Singh and music was rendered by Syed Mudassar Ali Shah. Vineet Sharma did the presentation and the show was coordinated by Sumeet Sharma.
