JAMMU, June 29: Theatre group Natrang here today staged Hindi play ‘Piano Vaadak’ which was based on a Russian story of Anton Chekhov dramatized by Satyendra Sharat and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play unfolds the condition of two genuine struggling artists (one writer and one musician) who are consistently trying to sustain their identity with lot of efforts but still could not muster the respectability and status they deserve.
The pianist is invited to score music in a very big party organized by a high status man for the high status gentry but he was belittled by one and all not because he did not know his art well but just because he appeared too ordinary to be a part of that party.
Some of the ladies approached him, showered fake praises and then embarrassed him at the same time with their true reflections about him. This insult shocks him deeply as he was not expecting such uncalled behaviour from those so called well civilized people. He narrates the whole story to his writer friend in despair who is also in a miserable and pathetic condition and they both console each other.
Artists who performed in the play were Kananpreet Kaur, Aryan Sharma, Priyal, Ashok Gupta, Prerna Sharma, Adaksh Bagal, Kushal Bhat and Kartik Kumar. Lights were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant, music was scored by Kushal Bhat, sets were designed by Pawan Verma and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen whereas Simran Bhagat did presentations.
