| Ghumayee staged at Jabalpur | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Oct 29: Natrang’s Dogri play ‘Ghumayee’ written and directed by Balwant Thakur was presented at the 17th National Theatre festival, Jabalpur at the Tarang Auditorium amidst great applauds.
With the staging of this play Dogri wrote a golden page in the history of Jabalpur National Theatre Festival for being the first regional language to make it to the country’s most prestigious National Theatre Festival.
The universal theme of the play and the electrifying visual poetics left lasting impact of the powerful presentation of the Ghumayee.
Other directors whose plays are being featured in this festival include Habib Tanveer, Nadira Babbar and Tripurari Sharma of National School of Drama.
‘Ghumayee” is a play based on Dogri folk tale of a hilly village and opens with a 'vidat' scene after the solemnization of marriage and bride is being carried in a 'Doli' to her in-law’s place.
As the tough climb begins, thirsty 'Dulhan' asks for water. Her request is laughed away and no heed is paid. All and one are requested to do the needful and arrange for water. The plight of 'Dulhan' prompts a young man to volunteer for the job.
During the ensuing discussions, the groom in an insolent tone bets away his bride in lieu of water. Thus begins the struggle for water. The young man, putting his life in extreme danger, overcomes all hurdles and ultimately succeeds in bringing the water. As bride quenches her thirst, the young man falls dead, out of sheer exhaustion. In stunned atmosphere, ‘Baraties’ decide to continue with the journey but ‘Dulhan’ refuses to do so. She declares herself a widow and cries out a wail (Ghumayee) sanctifying the significance of human relationship over the most prized relationship of marriage bound by mere rituals.
The artists who participated in Jabalpur national Theatre Festival included Suresh Kumar, Suraj Singh, Neeraj Kant, Sumeet Sharma, Dimple Sharma, Pawan Verma, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Verma, Renu Sharma, Pankush Verma, Tajasvi Sharma, Sjara Qadir, Rahul Singh, Ishfaq Anwar, and Kuldeep Mehra, Suraj Singh scored the world class music of the play and Suraj Ganjoo designed and executed the lights. Mohd. Yaseen did the sound.
