Women have been made to
surrender their individualities at the altars of socio political violence and
over reaching patriarchal society. In such juncture, a translated Hindi into Nepali
language drama named “Hum Hi Apne Aap” was presented in the National School
Drama (NSD) complex of Tripura by the NSD students of Sikkim, today. The
Universal theme “God helps those who help themselves” of the drama with
feminist approach was highly applauded by the huge attendants.
This drama had its first show
in the month of November, 2012 in Sikkim, which led to the outsourcing of this
act to other states like Rajasthan, West Bengal and Goa. The drama is
circumscribed by the construct of social obligations and pessimistic belief of
the traditional Eastern society and each plot is located in the setting of a
conflict torn self. Also certain section of this drama with feminism as its
outlook reflects the desire to trespass spaces denied to women in the personal
as well as public platform.
Bipin Kumar, Director of NSD,
Sikkim, informed that NSD, Sikkim was opened in the year 2011, to nurture
creativity in the state. Sikkim has a long way to go and can transform their
passion into occupation, he said. Moreover, he cited the success behind Tripura
Chapter to be the hard work of the entire theatre artistes.
Anil Magar, a senior artiste
of NSD Sikkim, acknowledged the efforts of NSD. He said, “We are maturing as an
artiste under the guidance of Bipin Kumar and I believe the state government
will recognize the company with much concern in the coming days”.
The play is inspired by Padma
Sachdeva’s Hindi novel, ‘Ab Na Banegi Dehari’, scripted by Asif Ali Haider
Khan. Jagdish Sharma is the one to have translated the
play into bi-lingual form. This Nepali play though had language barriers, was
highly recognized and applauded by the audience of Tripura which has set a new
outlook of the Sikkimese society to the outside world.
With success already in the
pocket, “Kaalo Sunakhari” another interesting Nepali Drama will be showcased
tomorrow by NSD, Sikkim for the people of Tripura.
