| Hued expression of folk & music sets stage rolling in Rajesh Singh’s "Babuji" | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 2: How an art gets imbibed into a human sensitivity detaching a person from all worldly materialism to pursue the inner conscience’s push towards perfection was the essence of the play ‘Babuji” presented on second day of ongoing Nutan Internatonal Theatre Festival-2020.
The play being the original story by Mithleshwar and adapted by Vibhanshu Vaibahv was directed by Rajesh Singh of Flying Feathers, New Delhi.
The play’s adaption was based on the Nuatanki form and included the ingredients of folk form , hued with expressing colours and contours that kept the audience glued to a highly dramatic presentation.
Babuji play is a tribute to one of most inspirational and most renowned Indian theatre personality B V Karanth whose original music formed the backbone of the folk art drama presented by the group.
Babuji, Lallan Singh who vies for perfection towards his love for art is shown so engrossed in his passion that his family too disowns him. But to keep his love for art, Babuji refuses to compromise with the adverse conditions and toes ahead his yearning to chisel his arty perfection.
While the sectarian thought of the society disowns Babuji , the folk dancer gets more tough to achieve his perfection in the dance irrespective of his neglect from his own son, wife , people and society.
The punch to the play comes when Babuji is invited for a dance show by his own would-be son-n-laws’ family to perform on the occasion of his own daughter. Babuji accepts inivitation and thus breathes last by producing the finest performance as a dancer.
The director, Rajesh Singh is alumni, London Academy of Music & Dramatic arts, UK, National School of Drama and of Sri Ram Centre for Performing Arts. He is well trained artist in all aspects of theatre like acting, direction, design, stage management and music.

Late B.V. Karanth’s traditional folk music was supported by Gagan Singh Bais, Dilshaad and Narayan Thakur.
