JAMMU, Feb 19: A very impressive performance of an experimental play, ‘Choona Hai Aasman’ conceived and directed by Balwant Thakur, was staged here today in Natrang’s weekly theatre series, Sunday Theatre.
The play begins with local problems like growing involvement of youth in drugs and the decaying respectability among youth for elders. Later a young-man emerges in the scene who represents the youth- the biggest work-force of any Country.
This youngman wants to lead in the world. He also wants to be like the people of the most progressive nations of the world. Despite making all-out efforts he finds that he is unable to make any headway in the present circumstances. He is shattered by finding that people out here are engaged in petty fights initiated by the anti-nationals. Young minds are being infused with negative thoughts, thus ruining their life and career.
He finds himself trapped in such a system where people instead of supporting him and his vision are pushing him towards darkness where he will end up ruining himself. The people out here are being exploited and pushed to a path of darkness for small petty political gains. He feels strongly that peace is the pre-requisite for any kind of progress and development.
His aspiration of scaling new heights and touching the skies could only be achieved when there are no disturbances, no chaos, no space for hatred for each other but an inspiring peaceful environment which encourages every-one to aspire and achieve. He has a dream for his village where no one fights in the name of religion, where there is no hatred, no separatist thought but a vision of progress and prosperity.
The artists who gave remarkable performances include Mohd Yaseen, Mahikshit Singh, Meenakshi Bhagat, Brijesh Avtaar Sharma, Mihir Gujral, Vrinda Sharma, Shivam Singh, Bhisham Gupta, Rishav Sharma, Masood Qadir and Abhi Bargotra. The lights of the play were executed by Neeraj Kant whereas the presentations were done by Rajan Thakyal.
