JAMMU, Apr 4: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Jangiram Ki Haveli’ written by Gurusharan Singh and designed-directed by Neeraj Kant.
This play once was very popular in north India and has been staged for over thousand times to sensitize masses about the core issues of prevalent political corruption.
The plays addressed political and social issues from a revolutionary perspective and it revolved around the story of four residents of a downtrodden Haveli of ‘Jangiram’ who died leaving the residents helpless.
The ‘Haveli’ is symbolic to the country and the residents represent the citizens of the country. The residents being overly dependent on ‘Jangiram’ did not know how to survive without him and they were troubled by this situation after which they sought the help of the narrator who awakened them to work for themselves.
The narrator prompted them to hold the elections to choose their new representative but the new representative was the same as the old one and did nothing to improve the conditions.
The place they live in is in so poor condition that they are still on the same boat as they were before. The play culminates when the narrator succeeds in making the people understand that they have to live for themselves under no pressures and democracy is their birthright and they must understand its value.
Actors who acted in the play were Kananpreet Kaur, Sagar Gupta, Sudanshu Isher, Bhrigu Sharma, Garu Ram, Rahul Gupta, Lovely Sharma, Gagan Sudan, Prohitdeep Singh, Bhawani Singh and Kushal Bhat. Lights were designed and executed Neeraj Kant whereas music was scored by Lovely Sharma.
The presentations were done by Brijesh Avtar Sharma and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
