JAMMU, Aug 2: The Punjab and Haryana Governments have invited Balwant Thakur’s one of the most celebrated children’s Hindi play ‘Aap Hamare Hain Kaun’ for being staged in five places across the two States.
The play will not only inspire the theatre practioners of both the States but also be a good learning and exposure for them. Considered to be one of the most innovative and thematically highly relevant to the times, this play of Natrang has already been staged in most of the metros of the country.
A twenty member team of artists will leave Jammu on August 15 to present the play in Chandigarh, Patiala, Kurushetra, Hissar, and Fraidabaad. Thousands of the audiences are eagerly waiting for this play in both the states of Haryana and Punjab. The play ‘Aap Hamare Hain Kaun’ shakes parents, educationists/guardians of society out of reverie of materialism, consumerism and unbridled desires. This play compels elders to look around and clear the mess they have created due to their own amorous ambitions. Parents see in their children an extension of their unfulfilled dreams and force them to become stereotypes and kill bountiful charm in them. In a pursuit to make them doctors, engineers and IAS, they are subjected to every kind of cruelty. The children become mechanical and hardly get time to discover their real self. Prevalent education system adds further insult to injury and creativity gets scuttled and children grow up devoid of values. Play deals with contemporary problems that younger generation is up against from their own loved ones and surroundings.
