Finally,I performed in a play again.. after 8 years.Caught in those moments where we rehearsed during every English period,when we had to get permission to use the stage,the very sound the wooden floors made,the familiar smell when we entered the wings,where we whispered backstage,the costume changes,the green room(which is anything but green!) sigh!.. Those were mad fun days...
So we ,the workshop members of Yours Truly, had our first show on April 6th. It was aptly called 'Beyond Boundaries'. There was two short plays and in one of them, the audience got to choose the ending (Talk about a miserable first day!). The first play was about freedom and the other one was a children's play 'Beyond the land of Hattamala' by Badal Sircar.They were directed by Ranji David,our faculty.
We used the style of theatre called body theatre where no external props were used and everything thats needed for the play like a house,tree or a well was made by the actors.. say three of us would form a tree..something on those lines.Use your imagination. Badal Sircar was a pioneer of body theatre.Now the ending.. the ending of the Hattamala play turned out absolutely hilarious.For those of you who want to know what the story and the crazy ending was..I am not telling you.You should have been there.We had a very wild audience who wanted homosexual affairs ,virus breakout and suicide bombings. The ending was actually a little bit of all that.
Cant wait to perform again.!... Yay to myself and to the team.
