JAMMU, May 31: 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 the top writers of the country carry immense value both for the performers as well as the spectators.
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.
In a highly symbolic manner, the playwright has tried to expose the directionless system be it political, social or spiritual.
The three characters in the play communicate with each other in an incoherent manner and nothing matters to the audience. The meaning of freedom, the useless speeches of the leaders, our country, language, class, all are debated and it seems to be aimless even though everything is necessary.
Passivity, meaninglessness, confusion, fatigue etc of a large section of the society are pushing this society and the country towards collective disability. In fact, the author wants to show that in the process of becoming modern, the society today is forgetting its human nature and has reached the era of disability.
Artists who performed in the play were Nikshay Mahajan, Mohit Singh, Arnav Dhotra, Gautam Rattan and Akash Wadhwan; lights were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant and the presentation was done by Mahikshit Singh.
