 Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 28: Natrang presented a new Hindi play "Hum Bhaag Rahe Hain" written by Padmashree Balwant Thakur and directed by Gauri Thakur in its "Sunday Theatre" series at Natrang Studio Theatre. The play was developed in a Theatre workshop organised by Natrang for new entrants. While conducting the workshop Gauri Thakur introduced to the freshers the significance of theatre. She experimented with interesting theatre exercises/theatre games which the young participants thoroughly enjoyed. She was also successful in her directorial venture where she demonstrated her direction skills in devising the play 'Hum Bhaag Rahe Hain'
The play 'Hum Bhaag Rahe Hain' focused on different problems and issues faced by the youth and the way they deal with it. The most common problem of today's youth is that of running away from their realities, responsibilities, duties, hardwork and expectations of others. The world can certainly be a challenging place. Everyone feels like running away from problems, people, and their life when it's gotten to be too much to handle. They feel like running away from problems because stress and anxiety overwhelms them. They have become too afraid to deal with the problems at all. They look for ways of escapism. Sometimes these ways of escapism lead to disastrous consequences. The play highlights such problems.
The play helps you to ponder over and devise ways to address to these problems. Overcoming difficulties and challenges are a great way to enjoy life, for as they start overcoming them, they will come to learn and internalize the fact they are not only capable of doing it, but are also good at it. With time this will allow them to confront everything and everybody in their life, with character and decision.
The young actors who performed flawlessly in the play included Diksha Pandita, Shivam Bhat, Manik Singh Baloria, Gagan Sudan, Prohitdeep Singh, Rahul Gupta, Aditi Khajuria, Sagar Gupta, Sudanshu Isher, Bhawani Singh Bali, Kushal Bhat, Mannat Soni and Garu Ram. The lights of the play were designed and operated by Brijesh Avtar Sharma whereas the sound was rendered by Sushant Singh Charak. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen. |
