JAMMU, Mar 28: On the second day of the ongoing Natrang Theatre Festival, Hindi play ‘Do Kalakaar’, written by Bhagwati Charan Verma and directed by Balwant Thakur was staged at Natrang Studio Theatre.
Natrang is currently organizing a 5-day Theatre festival to commemorate the world theatre day celebrations.
The play presented the real conditions of the struggling artists in the society, it showed the hardships an artist has to face till he becomes successful and famous. The destination appears glamorous, but the journey is no doubt very tough.
In the play, Churamani and Martand are two friends both are artists (one poet and another painter). They had once aspired to rule the Bollywood with their respective creative strengths. The poet had dreamt of becoming the top Hindi film lyricist and the painter had set a goal to become the most sought after art director of the tinsel town. 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 the harassment of their landlord who has not been paid the rentals of a dingy room for the last six months. The playwright has beautifully portrayed the tragic fate of the creative people who are expected to create magic and electrifying artistic experience through their unlimited creative energies are shown wasting their creativity just to ensure survival.
The actors, who acted in the play, were Rajan Thakyal, Mahikshit Singh, Rishav Sharma, Shivam Singh and Vishal Sharma. The lights were executed by Neeraj Kant whereas Ankush Lakhnotra rendered the music of the play. The show was coordinated by Mohammad Yaseen.
Tomorrow the play “Topian’ directed by Balwant Thakur will be staged at Natrang Studio Theatre.
