| Natrang stages globally acclaimed Dogri play 'Ghumayee' | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 18: The magic of an electrifying performance was visible all over when the versatile actors of Natrang vibrated Abhinav Theatre stage with its globally acclaimed Dogri play 'Ghumayee' written and directed by Padamshree Balwant Thakur. IGP Traffic, J&K was the chief guest on the occasion.
This Natrang's Dogri play 'Ghumayee' brought Dogri language and culture in global limelight and has the honour for being the first Dogri play which has been selected for being presented in the Theatre Olympics-2018.
"Ghumayee" is a play based on Dogri Folk Tale of a hilly village and opens with a 'Vidai' scene after the solemnization of marriage and bride is being carried in a 'Doli' to her in-law's place.
As the tough climb begins, thirsty 'Dulhan' asks for water. Her request is laughed away and no heed is paid. As the track becomes strenuous, her thirst intensifies and repeated entreaties end up in assurance of water at next available source. A stage is reached when thirst becomes unbearable and (Doli is put down) journey is put to halt. All and one are requested to do the needful and arrange for water. In the quest a water source is sited but is miles deep down in a gorge, which is extremely difficult to reach. Repeated requests of bridegroom fail to evoke any response, as the job requires superhuman effort. The plight of 'Dulhan' prompts a young man to volunteer for the job. All present warn him of the probable consequences but he is undeterred.
During the ensuing discussions, the groom in an insolent tone bets away his bride in lieu of water. Thus begins the struggle for water. The young man, putting his life in extreme danger, overcomes all hurdles and ultimately succeeds in bringing the water. As bride quenches her thirst, the young man falls dead, out of sheer exhaustion.
