A four-day drama festival organised by Artist Welfare Association would begin at Bharat Bhavan here from Tuesday. The festival would be presented at Antrang hall Bharat Bhavan and would conclude on November 8.
As the city of lakes has created a niche for itself in the field of art, various art forms are appreciated by the art lovers across the world.
A noted theatre artiste of the city and chairman of Artists Welfare Association Rajesh Bhadoria said, “People are much inclined towards the theatre presentations and watch them with rapt attention. But somewhere the people behind all the success are not treated the way they should be.”
“To give the best to the artists of the city Artist Welfare Association has organised a four-day theatre festival, not only for art lovers to appreciate the efforts of the artists and other theatre programmers but also to give them what they deserve,” said Rajesh Bhadoria.
Moreover, to provide financial stability to the artists in such uncertain situations, it is important to collect the appropriate funds, said Rajesh Bhadoria further. “For this purpose we are organising a theatre festival from November 5 to November 8 to be held at Bharat Bhavan,” he added.
The fest would begin with one of the hit plays by Rajesh Bhadoria ‘Kanyadaan’ on November 5, followed with Manoj Nair’s play ‘Box’ on November 6. On November 7, KG Trivedi’s ‘Bhook Aag Hai’ would be staged. The fest would conclude with the play ‘Chhuti’ by Niti Shrivastava on November 8.
Notably, various renowned artists of the city like KG Trivedi, Niti Shrivastava, Sanjay Shrivastava and others are associated with the association. Rajesh further said, “More contribution is expected by the art lovers of the city.”
On being asked about re-staging the theatre performances, noted artist of the city Sanjay Shrivastava said, “This is the first endeavour of the Association of four day drama festival and so as a reason we have chosen the hit plays of the city which are loved by the Bhopalites.
In the coming future we would ask the artists to prepare new scripts and we would definitely perform something new before the audience. Moreover, we would organise this festival on a bigger level in the coming future,” he added.
