Chandigarh 08th Feb,
2020:- A unique solo act play 'Drama Queen' was staged at
Tagore Theatre, Sector 18 here. The solo act was based on the true-life events
of Nisha Luthra, a city-based theatre professional, who is also Co Founder of
theatre organisation 'The Narrators'. Nisha herself enacted the solo stage play
with aplomb, under the aegis of 'The
Narrators' in association with Haryana Tourism.
Nisha Luthra said
that she is a lawyer by profession but theatre has always been her passion.
Theatre has been a catharsis for her as it gave her the power to remain happy,
despite overpowering circumstances which were only leading her to balance out
life’s imbalances. In theatre she is living her
passion for acting. The reason for the enactment today was to give a message to
all people who have dreams and are passionate about certain things, to follow
their passion, despite challenges and life's entrapment.
Nisha played
out SIX Characters which are a part of her life's journey. She showcased
various emotions through a fusion of music, dance and drama in an ensemble
choreographed and conceptualised by Nisha herself. The play intrigued with a
well-balanced level of love, humour
, compassion , sacrifice , tragedies and emotions.
The high point of
the act was when Dzenan Smailagic an Irish musician sang to the dexterous
accompaniment of his guitar. The musician flew especially from Ireland to give
the play a touch of his brilliant voice and music in a live song during the
act.
The act was
essayed by Nisha and directed by Dr. Sahib Singh, who both beautifully weaved
it into a beautiful tale.
Nisha explained
that Drama Queen' is neither based on any gender nor a person, rather it is a
meek voice of shown by any Individual whether a man or a woman and even
sometimes seen in an abstract at different stages of life.
The play was for
around 1 hour 15 minutes duration and touched upon the important
issue of 'mental health' which needs to be always positive whatever the
circumstances.
Deepak
Luthra, Co-Founder of The Narrators and production head, while
applauding the play shared that it’s a remarkable odyssey of life of undying
passion, which is inspirational.
Guests' of Honour
were Emer Davis, Head of Immigration & Visa Section, Embassy of
Ireland, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi and Lord Daljit Singh Rana, Baron of
Malone in the British House of Lords and they appreciated the act.
The set & light
was designed by Kewal Dhaliwal, Rajan Arora was the assistant director &
the backstage team included Lakwinder Singh & Nikasha. The promotions
