कुछ वर्षों के अंतराल के बाद एक नया नाटक — नल दमयंती।

यह नाटक कई महीनों की मेहनत का परिणाम है। इस यात्रा में लेखन, निर्देशन, संगीत का निर्माण, कलाकारों का अभ्यास, प्रकाश-रचना, धैर्य और अनेक प्रयासों का सफल और असफल होना — सब शामिल रहा है।

अब हम बेंगलुरु के दर्शकों के सामने नल दमयंती की इस पुनर्कल्पना को प्रस्तुत करने के लिए तैयार हैं।

आगे इस प्रस्तुति की यात्रा दर्शक तय करेंगे।

परिणाम जो भी हो, प्रयास निरंतर रहेगा…

मिलते हैं आपसे कल।

नल दमयंती

📅 रविवार, 4 अक्टूबर
🕖 शाम 7 बजे

My theatre people are a different kind of entertainment. 😂❤️

I love how we can be absolutely ridiculous one minute, deeply invested in a conversation the next, and somehow make every moment together memorable.

And my Kantaaaa (@lavanthi_s_kumar ) and Sammmuuu (@samarth._.neelraj29) will always be my babies. ❤️ @anil_iyer my love 💜. The kind of people who shower you with so much love that you can’t help but feel ridiculously happy.

So grateful for these people, these moments, and this little world we’ve built together. 🎭❤️

Raw footages: 10 years ago, we made a play. And what a play it was. ❤️

It was larger than life in every sense. A coming together of NSD artists, famous actors, aspiring actors, musicians and dancers. Some of us knew acting, some knew dance, some knew music, and most of us were figuring things out as we went.

We did the backstage work, handled properties, worked on choreography and costumes, figured out how to work with a live music pit and, for some of us, performed in Hindi for the first time.

Somewhere in those two months of rehearsals, the lines between what we knew and what we were learning started to blur. Actors learnt to dance. Dancers learnt to act. All of us learnt to work together and understand what it takes to build a production of that scale.

It was @anil_iyer first project as a choreographer and costume designer. He and Jayashree Amma travelled to Gujarat to learn the craft and bring back the costumes for the production.

For me, it was my first time assisting Amma in direction and my first experience being part of a production this huge, surrounded by so many people I had only looked up to until then.

And then, after all those rehearsals, we had just two tech rehearsals before the play was shelved.

Funny how that works.

The play never really made it to the stage, but those two months did something far more permanent. They gave us skills, friendships, stories, and an understanding of theatre that we carried far beyond that production.

Ten years later, I realise how much that one project taught us.

And perhaps the best part?

We made some incredible friends along the way. ❤️

Some plays have a long run. Some leave a long-lasting mark.

This one did both, just in a different way.
