A day ending,
A month concluding,
Rang Latu<\/strong> Progressing,
Tenth Theatre group performing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather overcasting,
Event postponing,
Then rains settling,
Thunder surrendering,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sky clearing,
Stars shining,
Open sitting,
Leaves rustling,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohh! Lights shutting,
Mic silencing,
Speakers muting,
Murmurs hushing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against all odds, Stage-setting,
Diyas gleaming,
Candles flickering,
Gathering watching,

Divinity Connecting,
Nanak<\/strong> himself attending,
Mystical singing and storytelling,
Daastaangos reciting,
The Super act- Daastaan-E-Guru Nanak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the above words describe last night’s unforgettable experience. As some moments seized in having a conversation with Almighty<\/strong>. It wasn\u2019t a visit to a religious center, or a gathering chanting and echoing the prayers but an offering. \u2018Offering to Nanak<\/strong>\u2019. Held at the blossoming Kalasthali Amphitheatre in the G-Block of Palam Vihar, Gurgaon,<\/strong> which is staging theatrical plays, that are nonetheless stimulating and inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a testing paper for organisers, and a rare staging took place, with an unknown and unsolved technical glitch. And, despite this fact, the New Delhi theatrical company Atelier Repertory managed to put on a performance of Daastaan-E-Guru Nanak. \u00a0We surely can say that technology is not our ally forever. We have to resort to more conventional means of expression sometimes. As if Baba Nanak was creating an aura to connect with him closely and taking us back to his era.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the open amphitheatre with an arrangement of candles, centuries-old traditional storytelling art form Daastan was enacted through, mystical music and sacred lyrics. Gaurav Suri and Udit Khattar,<\/strong> the Daastaangos<\/strong>\u00a0(storytellers),\u00a0created\u00a0a\u00a0scintillating environment\u00a0of\u00a0divinity\u00a0and\u00a0emotional\u00a0unity through their recitations of both prose and poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mesmerising performance, evolving into a meditative act, with script and direction by Kuljeet Singh explores the concept of ‘Oneness’<\/strong> that Baba Nanak promotes<\/strong>. An attempt to articulate the fundamental teachings of him, Kirt Karna<\/strong> (honest & diligent living), Vand Chhakna<\/strong> (sharing what you possess) & Naam Japna<\/strong> (meditating upon the name of the Almighty). The Importance of Terah<\/strong>, both the numeric thirteen and ultimate power of thine, thou, yours. Sarbat Daa Bhalla, a<\/strong>sk Lord for everyone’s happiness and stick to the truth as one of the ‘Hukums<\/strong>‘ (orders) of the Guru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daastaan- E-Guru Nanak<\/strong>, a classic meditating act, has performed over 100 shows from drawing rooms to stages, churches, theatres and art festivals, both nationally and internationally. If you get the opportunity to watch it, you should take it off its singularity and do so because it will almost certainly teach you something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theatre<\/strong> is one of the most well-known real-time representations of art, which takes place on a stage in the presence of an audience. Theatrical performances are known for being entertaining while also cultivating. When it comes to making an imprint on the minds of an audience, witnessing a narrative unfold via the performances of the characters generates a more lasting impact than, say, reading the story or listening to it being spoken. This is because watching a tale progress via the performances of the characters allows the audience to see how the story develops. As a result of this, it is extremely important to recognise the role that theatre and drama play within the context of the cultural environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Ashutosh Sehlat, Founder of Search Years and Kalasthali<\/strong>, is contributing superbly to art and culture and keeping theatre alive. Presently organising the plays, ‘Ranga Latu’<\/strong> in collaboration with Kala Gram. Plays are ongoing till 11th<\/sup> May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
