TAGHAYYUR THE RISE OF CHANGE - A STAGE PLAY
Genre: Comedy,
Satire
Duration: 75
mins
Ashima Theatre Group’s first ever
production, Taghayyur, was a satirical play on the man-animal relationship. The play was one of its kind to reverse
the direction of domination that exists between the mankind and the
animal kingdom.
Taghayyur as a word means “kayakalp” or thing
upside down. The play thus rightly
expressed, how the world would turn out to be when the perpetrator became a victim.
With the comic angle to the concept, the performances were replete with
animal impersonations.
Supported by PETA , the play touched upon the unfairness and
injustice to animals. The play started with blessing to a harried goat of one
day of supreme power over human kingdom, after which the animals united in a celebration
to take their revenge against human beings.
A court was set up by them and what happened next was an entertaining
performance which not only enthralled the audience, but also did justice to a
full-house auditorium.
