JAMMU, Jan 5: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Do Kalakaar’ written by Bhagwati Charan Verma and directed by Neeraj Kant.
In the play, ‘Churamani’ and ‘Martand’, two friends, both artists (one poet and another painter), had once aspired to rule Bollywood with their respective creative strengths but destiny lands them in a situation where both are forced to use their creative energies in creating situations and cooking stories just to escape harassment of their landlord who was not paid the rent of a dingy room for the last six months.
The play opens at a situation where both the poet and the painter have locked themselves in a room which is being visited by the landlord to collect rent from them.
The landlord forcefully makes entry despite all-out unsuccessful efforts to hold him back are made by the friends.
When caught at the corner, both take shelter of their creative mind and start cooking highly logical excuses to impress the landlord and he allows them to continue till they are able to realize their unfulfilled dreams.
Both sell him the dreams to the extent that the room rented out to them will once become a museum which once hosted the great genius of the world of poetry and painting.
Finding the distance beyond measurement between their dreams and reality, the landlord refuses to buy their arguments and throws them out of the room to face further rejection and dejection of the society.
Artists who performed in the play were Mihir Gujral, Aryan Sharma, Kartik Kumar, Adaksh Bagal and Akrit Sharma.
Lights were executed by Neeraj Kant and presentations were done by Manvi Devi. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
