JAMMU, Jan 12: Winter Theatre Workshop for children culminated here today with staging of Habib Tanveer’s play ‘Parampara’ at the auditorium of Government College for Women, Parade.
The play was directed by Neeraj Kant and assisted by Kanan Kaur.
Mohd. Yaseen coordinated the workshop.
Earlier, welcoming the gathering, Director Natrang, Padamshree Balwant Thakur dwelt in detail about Natrang’s unique initiative of popularizing theatre amongst children.
He said that theatre has amazing power to transform personalities.
The play ‘Parampara’ opens with two children lamenting their lack of followers on social media.
Encouraged by another child boasting 5 lakh followers, they attempt to replicate the trend by dancing to a new song. However, their energetic display is interrupted by Nati, who questions their awareness of their own culture and literature.
Nati urges them to look beyond these social media trends and explore the rich heritage of Indian culture and history. Inspired by this, the children resolve to stage a play on India’s history.
The play ‘Parampara’ begins with a humorous debate between the narrators and actresses about play’s theme, ultimately settling on the name ‘Viraasat’.
Through the allegory of children representing future generations, the play emphasises unity and the shared heritage of India and Pakistan.
Those who acted in the play included Aarna Gaur, Adira Gupta, Advik Sharma, Amayra Mahajan, Anuvi Sharma, Araiya Shan, Daiwik Shan, Deeher Gupta, Deshna Jain, Dhanak Chandan, Dwijesh Dutta, Jayaditya Singh, Kamakhya Bali, Kavish Sharma, Kavya Jandial, Mehak Chib, Mrigasya Shan, Nandita Mahajan, Nyra Gandotra, Priyal Gupta, Ruhaan Chandan, Saanchi Dutta, Sianet Magotra, Supria Gorka, Tapas Shikhar Midtada, Vaibhav Mahajan and Daivansh Singh Rakwal.
