| 'Day of Victory' a unique theatrical experiment premiered in Natrang's Sunday Theatre Series | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 5:This Sunday, Natrang featured a play 'Day of Victory' from Push and Pull Theatre Group, New Delhi in its Sunday Theatre Series. The play has been conceived and directed by Tushar Pandey, an INLAKS Shivdasani International Scholar, a 2 year specialisation on Lecoq's pedagogy from London International School of Performing Arts (LISPA) and a graduate from National School of Drama (NSD), he has been associated with various projects in India and UK. He is the co-founder of lyrebird theatre with whom he devised, produced and performed 'SHIPS OF SAND' which premiered at prestigious EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL 2011 with collaborators from USA, Greece, UK, Argentina, Denmark and India. He is also a visiting faculty at National School of Drama (NSD). Earlier Natrang Director Balwant Thakur introduced the team of Day of Victory to the audiences and assured that Natrang will continue its endeavor to introduce to Jammuites the latest innovations of theatre being evolved globally. The concept of 'Day of Victory' is to find a physical vocabulary to invoke the imagination in the audience to experience epic in everyone's life. Using the tools of physical storytelling, masked performance, clowning, physical puppetry, the idea is to let the audience fully participate and experience the production. The play runs between the present day 'Unay', (who works hard in his life without finding any comfort or desires to go further) and the mind of Unay (Jagdish), who stands up against everything that stops him to become what he desires. His imagined adventures offer violent release until the border between fantasy and reality begins to blur. The play experiences intense rush of images and tangled memories, revelations and lost detached connections, where we see Odysseus of today finding his real journey through hardships and troubles of the city life, to find where he really belongs. The story is seen in fragments, in episodic styles though the eyes of a lonely man, who is in Unay or Unay is in him. The Day of victory is a highly energetic performance aimed to be performed in as many places in India as possible, as it primarily will deal with body movement and object and mask playing .it rarely relies on spoken words. Tushar Pandey (NSD alumni) and Shubham (FTII, Pune alumni) both accomplished actors transported the minds of the audience to a different world with their skilled acting. The Lights creatively designed by Rahul Rai were also very complementary to the performance. Asheish Nijhawan, another alumni of NSD designed and appropriately executed the sound which was an important component of the play.
Costumes were designed by Priyanka Jain and Masks by Arun Mallick. Natrang Team who supported the whole event included Mohd. Yaseen, Rahul Singh, Sushil Raina, Ankush Lakhnotra and Vishal Sharma. Sumeet Sharma presented the show before the audience. |
