In the weekly series 'Abhinayan' series of drama, a Hindi play ‘Nandu Nachaiyya’ was staged. The play was performed at Madhya Pradesh tribal museum here on Friday.
It is to be noted that every Friday a new production of theatre is staged at tribal museum under Abhinayan series. The play Nandu Nachaiyya was staged in the direction of Vijay Sonawane.
The play Nandu Nachaiyya is based on the folk theatre form of Bundelkhand, which was popular in the lower caste of Madhya Pradesh, known as Rolva. Nandu Nachaiya is influenced by this style.
The people of Bundelkhand love seeing hi, (Nandu) dance. One day he gets an opportunity to showcase his art in an elite caste. She went there with his own caste i.e. the lower caste. When he shows his art at Thakur Saheb, Thakur's sister (Rupa) falls in love with Nandu and his art. When this thing is known to Thakur, he removes his sister from the mansion. Rupa gets married to Nandu when a man from Shantan Singh Thakur's mansion did not like it because he wanted to marry Rupa. That's why he kills Nandu. Rupa, in her stomach, gives the message of Nandu's child to make a big artist.
The play was beautifully presented on stage. Each and every detail of the play was kept in mind while staging it. The audience loved the presentation and the acting skills of the actors present on stage. Artists gave the message of caste system wonderfully.
