JAMMU, Oct 14: Samooh Theatre staged two shows of Rabindernath Tagore’s world famous play ‘Dhak Ghar’ in Dogri under the direction of Ravinder Sharma, at Abhinav Theatre, here today.
The play has been adapted in dogri as ‘Dhak Ghar (a flight) by Dr Sudhir Mahajan. The play has also been selected in 6th National Theatre Festival, Guwahati (Assam) and the team is going to perform it at Rabindra Bhawan, Guwahati on October 21.
On the occasion, TR Shastri, Joint Director, was the chief guest while Dr Arvinder Singh Amn, Additional secretary, Cultural Academy, was the guest of honour. Vijay Sharma from UK was the special guest.
The play is about a small boy who is chronically ill. On account of his sickness, the boy is confined to his bed and he sits by his window, watching life go by without him. Only by dying is the boy finally set free.
In this manner, the play is primarily a metaphor for spiritual freedom, for death as a beginning rather than an ending. The play also presents a social commentary on class structure through the servants who surround the boy during his illness.
