Jammu, Mar 24: Natraj Natya Kunj Cultural Society Jammu, today preformed its highly acclaimed multilingual Play "The Last Colony" in Chalo Theatre, National Theatre Festival being organised by Ras Kala Manch, Haryana, at Radha Krishan Sabhagar, Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak.
According to press release, the play was written by Kumar A 'Bharti' and Directed by Abhishek Bharti, this experimental Play is a result of 2 months long Physical Theatre workshop which was conducted by Abhishek Bharti.
Though originally based on the theory of Brazilian Theatre Director Augusto Boal's concept of Theatre of Oppressed and Poland Theatre director Jerzy Grotowski's concept of Poor Theatre, the Play emphasizes on the fact that social and intimate violence by individual or group perpetrators are not the only oppressors of women.
The script was adapted from true events which were infectiously lapped up by the global media. This growing violence and callous attitude towards women within the peripherals of a male dominated society and its regressive patriarchal psyche have as if assumed an endemic proportion without an element of cure.
However, the profoundly thought-provoking drama with a serious message entwined to it counters this very apathy of state administration, law and order, policing system and the general sense of social ethics.
'The Last Colony' echoes the plight of today's women and their constant struggle, the language of the drama ranged from Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Dogri dialogues, heightened with an effective emotional plane and powerful expressions. Director used the challenging theatrical strategies taking it to a different sphere altogether, used chorus as a backdrop, prop or setting to support the central subject and interaction of Actors with audience.
Through the innovations in the play and turning women into a unified group voicing their solidarity against patriarchy made the play more appealing. Today's Play based on the plight of women captures the growing violence on women and society's heartless attitude. Bringing this corrosion of human Culture under the focus of spotlight, Director emphatically bolstered the burning issue through an aesthetic collage of choreographed movements, stylized stances and dance postures. With the mature acting skills of the artists, background setting and a strong concept the Play come out as a pure visual treat for viewers. |
