"Naye Yug Ki Naari' written and directed by Balwant Thakur

Описание: Play ‘Naye Yug Ki Naari’ speaks loudly about the new-age women. Opening with a narrative full of depressing stories of the exploitation of women from birth to death, the play depicts the odyssey of women from patriarchal times-the harrowing experience of the times to her unwavering commitment to be a part of change and transformation. Fact remains that there have been significant achievements in doing away gender inequality, the journey towards dismantling deeply ingrained patriarchy and achieving women empowerment in India in true sense remains arduous. This eyeopener play is set to shake the society and will prompt all to give women the overdue space for growth to make India the most developed nation of the world. The play conveys a very strong message of the women folk seeking mindset of the society.
Balwant Thakur who is known for devising innovative presentation styles, structured the play ‘Naye Yug Ki Naari’ in a chorus style. Interestingly in his new style of presentation all performers from beginning to end get the equal opportunity of performance. It is a prerequisite that all learn and prepare the entire script and perform different roles on rotation basis. Whatever may be the number on stage, they are trained in such a manner that even 10% of the participants can perform the entire play with similar effectivity. This new innovation of Balwant Thakur is aimed at revolutionizing the theatre movement which suffers extensively when few amongst the team of performers refuse to turn up for the shows. Artists may come or go, this style of presentation will never allow the play to die and will always strengthen the slogan ‘Show Must Go On’.
