‘Every artist is like ...’ staged
Chandigarh, March 28 Directed by Pranab Mukherji, a theatre personality from Kolkata based in Delhi, the play draws similarities between the legendary Bhagat Singh and Kumar Vikal in the sense that both were responsible for a constructive anarchy. “Both of them documented the changing Indian Marxism presenting an urban and rural counterpoints,” articulates the director, a specialist in the genre of installation theatre. Using Bhagat Singh as a metaphor, the play begins with the protagonist writing a letter to Bhagat Singh and his confused state of mind as to how to post it to him. Nevertheless, the act by Pranab himself, who plays the protagonist, provokes everyone present when he laments that at the age of 23, the only thoughts that boggled Bhagat Singh were of freedom and ‘Inkalab’ whereas the youth today are only anxious of visiting multiplexes and the only awareness that they have of the freedom fighter is through
Bollywood films. A video clipping of a theatre activist in Manipur, who sets himself ablaze that was shown as a part of the play, touched the hearts of the audience.
