All in all, quite confusing till we decided what was what.<BR/>I like to see interpretations of known works of Lit. One play which I liked was, Sanjivani The story of Kacha Devayani in Yakshagana style, with a blend of english and kannada.It was cool to see Sukracharya addicted to Cocoacola :) <BR/><BR/>-sSUNITI JOSHIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621071037565370903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15226102.post-1139857996335575692006-02-14T00:43:00.000+05:302006-02-14T00:43:00.000+05:30Limitation is by definition an obstacle to creatio...Limitation is by definition an obstacle to creation.

Be it science or theatre, it is by rejecting the old that the new comes into being. No wonder, I but not you could identify with Pravah's hamlet! Now you give me a feeling of brotherhood with Neeraj Kabi!Ozymandiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511131076572113582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15226102.post-1139846822806558072006-02-13T21:37:00.000+05:302006-02-13T21:37:00.000+05:30If you've been for lengthy hours on the stage, one...If you've been for lengthy hours on the stage, one of the first things that you must learn is that you should 'not' go out pouring at jet-speed. If the play had to be shortened, they should have done it in a better way, not by trying to rush through it.<BR/><BR/>You being a scientist, you should know better if it is actually instinct, but I don't believe it. You can shit standing, you can shit on the roads, but you don't. Your upbringing teaches you a few things. And those things are better learnt properly, so that you may be accepted into the society which essentially runs on certain basics. theatre too, I think, respects certain things, which any experimentation cannot take liberty against. Anyway, if you find it fine, then be it...<BR/><BR/>-- AkshayaBravehearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308475620546610952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15226102.post-1139830845906123462006-02-13T17:10:00.000+05:302006-02-13T17:10:00.000+05:30It is a matter instinct, not respect.

There is a universal way for humans to laugh and cry; if you change it, no one will understand unless told so beforehand. vide the laughing principal in Munnabhai.<BR/><BR/>I cannot do anything about Jasma Odhan; maybe I'll catch it at Prithvi.<BR/><BR/>Audibility being a problem would be a technical problem; maybe they didn't keep enough mikes. A compressing a five-hour play into less than half; well, oyu mouth the classical dialogue superfast. If you've been on stage with a lengthy rehearsed, not very unlike once you start, it just comes pouring out at jet-speed!Ozymandiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511131076572113582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15226102.post-1139829492066846042006-02-13T16:48:00.000+05:302006-02-13T16:48:00.000+05:30Well, very tastefully written. I liked reading it ...Well, very tastefully written. I liked reading it and also, in a way, re-lived my frustration for a bit. <BR/><BR/>As for the message and medium, well, I think there is no debate there. Let the content choose the form and you are always on the right track. Tell me if it was so here! Experiment doesn't mean playing around with the basics, dear scientist. There is a way to cry, to laugh, to love and to mate - basics 'must' be respected.<BR/><BR/>Forget the languages bit, the dialogues must be coherent and at the least, audible. The pace of the english dialogues should have been half of what theirs was, not only because the language is obsolete in its own land, also for we have absolutely no connection with it. Language can uplift the effect, but only when you give it the due respect. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, there is no point going on about something I faintly remember. It's sad that you couldn't come the next day. The play was splendid and Juhi Babbar was a treat to watch. I could go down on my knees for her, had I felt I stood any chance :D<BR/><BR/>-- AkshayaBravehearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308475620546610952noreply@blogger.com
