The 4th Pratibimb Natya Utsav is a 6 day theatre festival that shows 6 different plays on each day, directed by different renowned theatre directors and actors
Day 1
Jaisa Tum Kaho
Directed by: Chitra Singh
The play deals with an old couple where the husband tries to fulfil all the desire of his wife and children and says “Jaisa tum kaho” on every demand. On the counterpart, he lives a life which is deprived of love and affection from his children. The play has an essence that prosperity and materialism has reduced the family values
The play is a heart rendering portrayal of the joys, sorrows and the trials of this elderly couple.
Day 2
Khamosh Adaalat jaari hai
Directed by: Rajesh Babbar
The play indicts a male-oriented society, reflecting a feminist viewpoint. At another level it deals with the mask and the real face and the relationship of art to life.
The play in totality would present a perfect package of humour, underlining, at the same time the core message.
Day 3
Gareeb Nawaz
Directed by: Davender Raj Ankur
An NRI opens a BPO Company, which becomes hugely successful. His problems start arising when a man opens a ‘Gareeb Nawaz’ chicken shop nearby his office and he objects against it. The situation complicates when another man opens up a ‘Narayan Bhojnalaya’ near the office and an allegation of spreading violence is put on him. What happens next?
Bayaan
Directed By: Ravi Taneja
The play deals with the struggle of a couple, where both the people are theatre artists. There is not much money in the theatre business and the husband decides to do another job, which does not bring any fruit. This causes distress in the couple and their marriage.
A strange turn of events causes the husband to die a natural death, which appears as a suicide with the wife to blame. She gives her explanation, the bayaan, which forms the core of the play.
Time: 7:45 PM
