| Natrang stages play at National theatre festival | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 6: Students of Natrang group outshined at 25th National Theatre Festival, Jabalpur here this evening where they staged Hindi play 'Aap Hamare Hain Kaun'.
In connection with the silver jubillee of Vivechana, the 5th day of the festival created history for being the first children theatre group to make it to the National theatre festival.
Twenty three member team of Natrang artists headed by Neeraj Kant and Mohd. Yaseen arrived here today in the city of marbles to participate in country's most sought after National Theatre festival in which top professional theatre artists and groups are participating.
The biggest challenge before young Natrang actors was to reach up to the expectations of jam-packed Tarang Auditorium elite who had seen best of Indian stage actors like Aashish Vidhyarathi in their best form on stage. But the standing ovation and the repeated applauses by the audience in response to brilliant acting by children was amazing.
'Aap Hamare Hain Kaun was created by Balwant Thakur in the process of evolving a new dramaturgy for children's theatre.
The play Aap Hamare Hain Kaun' shakes parents, educationists/guardians of society out of reverie of materialism, consumerism and unbridled desires. This play compels elders to look around and clear the mess they have created due to their own amorous ambitions and rat race. Parents see in their children an extension of their unfulfilled dreams and force them to become stereotypes and kill the bountiful charm in them.
In a pursuit to make them top professionals, doctors, engineers and civil servants, they are subjected to every kind of cruelty. The children become mechanical and hardly get time to discover their real self. Prevalent educational system adds further insult to the injury and their creativity gets scuttled and children grow up devoid of values. Play deals with contemporary problems that younger generation is up against from their own loved ones and surroundings. Tall claims and big concerns of parents, relations, and educationists are being questioned by the younger generation…… 'Aap Hamare Hain Kaun'
The children who performed included Sumedha Manhas, Gopi Sharma, Sanchita, Soujanya Shekhar, Agam Kaur, Mihir Gujral, Vrinda Gujral, Sushant Singh Charak, Asma Gul, Aarti Devi, Vrinda Sharma, Sanvi Anand, Riya Jandial, Saba Jamwal, Vedhant Suri, Sanket Bhagat, Palshin Dutta, Kushaan Baliya and Rudra Kohli. A team of experts supported the children at back stage which included Neeraj Kant (Directorial Assistance), Mohd. Yaseen (Coordination) and Rakesh Kona (Rhythm/Sounds). |
