| Dhoop Ka Ek Tukra –engages minds at Sunday theater | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 22- ‘Dhoop Ka Ek Tukara’ a new Hindi play based on a monologue of Nirmal Verma was presented under the dramatization and direction of Balwant Thakur in Natrang’s weekly theatre show Sunday Theatre. Late Nirmal Verma is one of the most celebrated Hindi litterateurs of the country who once wrote three monologues under the title ‘Teen Ekant’ (Three texts in solitude) for National School of Drama, New Delhi which later performed these through its repertory company.
Set at a public garden a lady in her late thirties comes every day to the garden to pass her time. Suffocated by her loneliness she is shown introspecting her past. In front of the park there is a Church where she got married about fifteen years back. She gets nostalgic watching others getting married and has chosen a bench from where she could have the complete glimpse of the happenings at the Church. She identifies her self in the newly wedded couples. In a highly dramatic manner the writer has shown her narrating her pathetic life to a stranger in the park who hardly reacts to her revelations. Fifteen years back she got married in the same church. For eight years every thing was smooth and suddenly she broke-up over certain personal issues. She realized the importance of being together only after she had the divorce document in her hand. Loneliness is more than a deadly disease and everyone around looks at her with a question mark. She introspects, draws comparisons but the prime-time of life once gone can never be called back. Her thrust for life, longing for relationship and symbolically looking for a ray of sunlight at the park has been woven poetically by the veteran writer of Indian literature. One should never let loose a relation in life. The person you loose never move alone but takes part of life from you which you have spent with him/her. Later you are left alone to strive for filling that vacuum, but that vacuum remains there for whole of life.
Surbhi Singh a new find of Natrang did full justice to the character. In her maiden performance she ably portrayed the complex lead role of the play. Professionally trained through Sagar Films, Mumbai she demonstrated her confidence, maturity and promise and will surely scale new heights in the field of acting. She was supported as a mute character by Hemant Bholla. Maintaining a character that too without a dialogue is a very challenging job and he did it successfully. Pankush Verma designed and executed the lights. Vijay Kaul scored the music and Ajay Kumar Sharma coordinated the show. |
