JAMMU, Mar 30: On day four of the ongoing Natrang Theatre Festival-2021 at Natrang Studio, the theatre group staged Hindi play ‘Hum Bhaag Rahe Hain’ written by Padmashree Balwant Thakur and directed by Gauri Thakur.
The play focused on different problems and issues faced by the youth and the way they deal with it. The most common problem of today’s youth is that of running away from realities, responsibilities, duties, hard work and expectations of others.
The world can certainly be a challenging place. Everyone feels like running away from problems, people and their life when it’s gotten to be too much to handle.
Sometimes these ways of escapism lead to disastrous consequences. The play highlights such problems. Escapism occurs when you are trying to avoid something. It can come in different forms. Some physically run away from their homes. Some immerse themselves in addiction. Some prefer to live in a fantasy world to get away from their everyday life and be someone else-perhaps the person they wish they actually were. Some may even go as far as to commit suicide.
The play helps on overcoming these difficulties and challenges to enjoy life.
Actors who performed in the play were Diksha Pandita, Shivam Bhat, Gagan Sudan, Prohitdeep Singh, Rahul Gupta, Aditi Khajuria, Sagar Gupta, Sudanshu Isher, Bhawani Singh Bali, Kushal Bhat, Mannat Soni and Garu Ram.
Lights of the play were designed and operated by Brijesh Avtar Sharma whereas the sound was rendered by Sushant Singh Charak. The show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
Tomorrow on the concluding day of the Theatre Festival, Hindi play ‘Aadhi Raat Ke Baad’ will be staged.
