JAMMU, Sept 7: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Teen Apaahij’, written by Dr. Vipin Kumar Aggarwal and directed by Neeraj Kant.
Speaking on the occasion Director Natrang, Padmashree Balwant Thakur said that such intellectual plays written by top writers of the country carry immense value both for the performers as well as spectators.
The play ‘Teen Apaahij’ set at a crossroad, three characters Kallu, Khallu and Gallu are shown sitting under a lamp post doing nothing and just passing comments on everything.
These characters communicate with each other in an incoherent manner and nothing matters to the audience. Yet, they constantly have the feeling that there is something to what is happening around us. The meaning of freedom, the useless speeches of the leaders, Indianness, our country, language, class, all are debated and it seems to be aimless even though everything is necessary.
Natrang experimented this production with a new generation of actors which were fresher artists. Three characters were excellently played by Pawan Verma, Aryan Sharma and Kartik Kumar.
They were supported by Krishay Bhatia, Drumbeater and Kushal Bhat as Cyclewala. Lights of the play were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant whereas the sound was scored by Kushal Bhat. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
