A sense of peace climbed to my senses when I reached Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Sanskrutik Bhavan in Wanowrie. The auditorium had warmth which put the setting in for the play, there were three sticks placed on stage standing on one another with decorations on them making them look like tribe-inspired. And there was tribe-inspired music playing which gave such a glow to the ‘to be’ dramatic experience.
The lights looked lovely on stage and they were focussed on the sticks. The opening scene has three characters in loin cloths making animal or bird sounds: Tigura-dugara-dugar.
The sync among the characters was well done and it felt so natural and just made me feel how drama is different and special from other forms of performance art.
Three friends live peacefully in a village setting until their peace is disturbed. The story was a mellow-coated-slow-paced-one. One of the friends falls in love with a girl and she lures him to the forbidden fruit of development, modernization and governance. And he comes back trying to carry out the designs in practice which only leads to a farce.
Oka Boka Tiloka talks about development using a self-introspective approach and the theatre group of Mumbai , Kathakar-Theatre, Stories & Life succeeds in doing just that!
