THE PLAY…..
Play based in human emotions and passion often explores the complexities of relationships and how selfishness and false ego can create a rift between two individuals. In our pursuit of personal desires and validation, we may unintentionally hurt and push away those who are closest to us. However, it is only through genuine affection, faith, and love that these gaps can be mended. These emotions have the power to break down barriers and bring people back together, reminding us of the importance of human connection and genuine relationships. It is in these moments that we realize that our selfish actions were misguided and that true fulfillment lies in the love and support we receive from others. Play based in human emotions and passion serves as a reminder that our relationships must be nurtured with care, understanding, and selflessness to truly thrive. Through the portrayal of raw human emotions and the power of love, these plays offer a powerful message about the value of genuine connections in a world that often prioritizes personal gain over meaningful relationships.
DIRECTOR’S NOTE…..
Play “Bhav Nu Abhav” written by Atish Kumar Satpathy. This play delves into the intricate dynamics of human relationships, exploring themes of affection, love, anger, and the complexities of family life. At its core, the narrative unfolds the poignant story of a misunderstood relationship between a father and son. As the director, my vision for this production was to illuminate the nuances of emotions that often remain unspoken within families. Through the play, we aim to portray the universal struggles of communication, empathy, and understanding that resonate with audiences across diverse backgrounds. Each scene is crafted to draw you into the characters’ lives, allowing you to witness the raw and authentic moments that shape their journey. The play challenges us to reflect on our own connections, encouraging introspection on the significance of bridging gaps and fostering understanding within our families. I hope you find resonance in the emotions portrayed on stage, and that “Bhav Nu Abhav” leaves you with a renewed appreciation for the intricate tapestry of human relationships.
