| Natrang stages play “Main Aurat Hoon” | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 28: A mesmerising performance of a new play in Hindi “Main Aurat Hoon” was staged here today at Natrang Studio Theatre in the weekly Sunday Theatre series. The play was written by Manjul Bhardwaj and efficiently directed by Neeraj Kant Sharma.
The play “Main Aurat Hoon” is a journey to explore, explore the self and explore the existence and its various forms. Play out rightly rejects the thinking, greetings, traditions, beliefs and patriarchal Indian society and challenges it to accept its ‘Independent Human Existence’. The play does not look at the woman in the mirror of man’s equality but underlines the independent existence of a woman.
In the Indian society, the position of women is always perceived in relation to the man, from birth onwards and at every stage of life, she is dependent on him. This perception has given birth to various social customs and practices. Violence against women both inside and outside of their home has been a crucial issue in the contemporary Indian society.
Patriarchal norms have marked women as inferior to men. A girl child is considered a burden and is often not even allowed to see the light of the world. Discrimination against girls continues in every aspect, be it education, health, protection or participation, the girl child is always treated unequally.
“Main Aurat Hoon” is not a one-line story, but covers the different apathetical aspects relating to the sufferings of a woman, who is suffering from the ancient times within the family and in the society of course. Scenes of her suffering in the family as a girl child, as a woman beaten by her drunkard husband and facing the gender-based inequality, while educating a girl have been incorporated in the actual script of the play.
While acting in the play actors are exposed to the sensitivity of ‘gender equality’ and the audience is free from ‘gender biases, while watching the play. The play leaves a tremendous impact on the performers and the audience as well. Though the play is a unique solo-performance, but was efficiently designed and directed for ten artists and even more may be the part of this flexible eye-opener. This play is a concerted effort to sensitise the society in eradicating the issues related to gender inequality, violence against women and societal mindsets.
Natrang young artists who presented a wonderful performance included; Meenakshi Bhagat, Kananpreet Kaur, Lovely Sharma, Riya Sharma, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Sushant Singh Charak, Khushal Bhat, Kuldeep Angral and Ashish Thakur. The lights of the play were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant, whereas the music was scored by Brijesh Avtar Sharma. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
