| Balwant Thakur’s play Suno Eh Kahani staged | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Mar, 28: Dogri play ‘Suno Eh Kahani’ conceived written, designed and directed by Balwant Thakur was staged here at Amar Mahal Museum in the honour of Dr. Karan Singh. The show was organized in connection with ‘Celebrating Diversity’. The play is highly experimental and has the credit of being largely staged Natrang production. It is a wholesome blend of almost all the Dogri Folk Art forms and thus acts aptly acts as theatre as an effective tool of mass awareness.
Today’s play was based on the story of a young girl ‘Guddi’ representing a major section of rural lower middle class adolescent young girls, who are forced into matrimony at a very tender age. Guddi is fully aware of the strains of early marriage, as it has taken its toll in untimely death of her mother. She wants to grow and get educated before she takes up the responsibility of married life. Her dreams are shattered, a 'suitable' groom is found and marriage date is fixed. While the marriage ceremonies are being performed, help comes in the form of intervention by legal authorities and decision of marriage is deferred for appropriate time. The play highlights the plight of young girls who are sacrificed at the altar of rotten, redundant customs of illiterate and ignorant sections of our society.
Neeraj Kant played the role of ‘Baap’ whereas Sajra Qadir played the role of ‘Guddi’ with full theatrical versatility. The narrators of the play Anil Tikoo and Sanjeev Gupta did multiple roles thus demonstrating their hold over performing of the variety of characters. Pawan Verma as clownish groom generated repeated laughter through his comic acts. Rahul Singh as ‘Police Man’ was also very impressive. Others who performed as chorus and various characters in this highly innovative play include Mohit Sharma, Mohd. Yaseen, Gaurav Triyal and Arvind Singh. Sumeet Sharma coordinated the show.
