A play The living Corpse was staged at Madhya Pradesh State Tribal Museum on Friday. The play was staged under the regular series of dramas ‘Abhinayan’ organised by tribal museum every Friday.
The play is directed by Waseem Khan and was brilliantly performed by the artists of Swabhimaan Shikshan Samiti. The play was wonderfully performed on stage leaving the audience totally mesmerised.
The play was a splendid synchronisation between the fading values of children and expectations of parents. The play begins with introducing the present situation, but as the circumstances arises and situation strikes the family, the audiences travel to the real life situations of old parents.
The play begins with introducing the old parents waiting for their son to come back home. But, their son is married to woman and is living happily his life. He tells his parents that he’ll be coming soon only to make them realize that he will never return.
It is noteworthy that the relationship between parents and children is nothing new to show to the audiences, but the essence of the story is that it is picked up from the real incidents and situation.
It was the show that made the audience glued to their seats. While talking about the play Waseem Khan said that the play holds its significance even today. “The situations and the concept in this play which is relevant in today’s world. We picked this play as we wanted to connect with the audience other than entertaining them.”
The production was entirety mesmerizing, be it in its backdrop or in the virtuosity of the actor's craft is significant of a simplicity which was commendable. The lighting effect was used sensibly that enhanced the moods of the scenes.
