JAMMU, Dec 3: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged play ‘Topian’ written by Mani Madhukar and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play is a dig on the lusty politicians who change colors faster than chameleon only to remain in power. Human civilization has witnessed a lot of social and political revolutions, each time thinkers and philosophers have sold new political thoughts and doctrines of governance but ironically same faces make their way to power just by hiding real faces under new masks and by changing the colour of their caps but not mindset.
In the backdrop of the story of two neighbors who pledge to change the political scene are shown looking for alternatives.
Each time they come across a person, they meet only the one wearing different caps and attires offering them a variety of manifestos. Each time they identify him as a different person and expect a different ideology from him. This way they succumb to his tactics. Over the time when they find that nothing is changing, the slogans of socialism are furthering the divide between rich and poor, quality of life is deteriorating day-by-day and the security of life and property is at the mercy of God.
Both muster courage and strip the person selling those dreams. Surprisingly inside clothes they find that he is the same person and every time he used to come to them in different attire.
Artists who participated in the play were Abhimanyu Choudhary, Sumit Bandaral and Aadesh Dhar.
Lights of the play were executed by Neeraj Kant and the music was rendered by Kushal Bhat. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
