The journey of an artist was showcased through a delightful performance. Hindi play ‘Majnu ka Announcement’ was performed here on Friday at Shaheed Bhavan, marking the second day of 7th Karunesh Theatre Festival .
Designed and Directed by Kuldeep Kunal, the play was performed by the artists of The Rising Society of Art and Culture (RiSAC).
It was jointly organised by RiSAC and Malvika Society, Bhopal.
The play introduces a man of around 65 years who recites a few lines from a book to the audience. He recites and narrates his story which starts about 50 years back.
The character was none other than the protagonist of the play called Majnu. Majnu was a young man who worked as an announcer in the city. He used to do mass announcements about different happenings of the city.
Majnu was a happy go lucky man who loved his job and more than that he loved Hindi movies.
Majnu was living in a phase when technology was slowly and gradually taking over society.
He was a known announcer of the city but, somehow he was kicked out from his job as the trend of announcers declined. The tent house where he lived was sold to another rich man by the owner.
All Majnu was left with was only hope and the compilation of the announcements he made. He compiled them all as a book which he narrated to the audience.
As a Gothic tale, the play was performed wonderfully. All the actors performed their character that was very well received by the audience.
