On the last day of the online theatre festival, play Dastan-e-Shivpalganj was staged. Based on Lal Shukla's famous novel "Raag Darbari", the play was presented live on Facebook.
It was directed by Sushil Kant Mishra and screenplay is written by Pankaj Dubey and Susheel Kant Mishra. The play was performed by the actors of the Natya Manch, Umaria.
Pradeep Varma, Head of Admire Theater, told that thousands of viewers got love in the Facebook Online Theater Festival every day.
The play focuses on the lives of the people living in a village located away from a big city, Shivpalganj, which despite the progress and development of the past many years are rooted in the inherent selfishness and the trauma of many unwanted elements.
Even today, politics is brainwashing element there. The play showcases the brutal reality of society.
While doing this drama, special care has been taken that in the drama that it does not showcase the end of ethics (value), a particular person was not written keeping the protagonist in mind, rather the situation is given more importance to the person.
The director of the play said, "I do not think that he should be self-sufficient. This thinking invites a situation that causes humanity to feel crushed under the feet of politics. Earlier politics was outside the house, but today, by entering inside the house badly, we are engaged in making our humanity hollow, which we ourselves are responsible for."
He further said that the main reason for doing this drama is not to give any sermon but to show mirror by pointing towards today's system so that we can decide right and wrong. The music of the play was very melodious.
