Munshi Premchand's story Rasik Sampadak, marked the third day of 35th National Theatre Festival. The play was staged at Ravindra Bhavan, here on Saturday.
Directed by Veena Sharma, the play Rasik Sampadak is a satirical comedy, which depicts the mentality of the people who focus on the outer beauty of a person rather than their inner beauty or qualities.
Even in the 21st century, after being independent and self-sufficient, women are judged on the basis of their appearance. Therefore, this play in addition to being a satirical comedy also gives the message of not judging women on the basis of their looks.
The play was beautifully performed by the artists of Rang Visharad Theatre Club.
The play is beautifully designed through comic situations about the male mindset towards women, as they are seen as objects of beauty rather than intellect.
In the play, a poet gets attracted to women and he tries to get involved with every woman, who comes to learn his masterly aptitude towards poem writings.
The writer gets obsessed with every woman. He thinks that getting close to any woman would take him and his career to heights, only to discover that he was doing nothing, but damaging his own image and talent.
The play concludes on the note that it is not the bodily beauty of the woman that makes her beautiful but, her attitude toward any creative art, but her inner self that brings the artist out of her.
The play was beautifully performed giving away a message that women should never be objectified. The performance of the artists enthralled the audience.
