I saw 2 plays, which are based on the subject HOMOSEXUALITY. One is 'Na Yetee Uttare' (a play in Marathi & English-bilingual) & another one is 'Dreams Of Talim' (in English, Hindi & Marathi-trilingual). Both plays tells about the subject very simply. These plays help us for changing our view towards Homosexuality & also towards gays & lesbians........ Do see.
Synopsis says.......
'Na Yetee Uttare'
Ashutosh (20, Harshad Raajpathak) and Ranjeet (24, Mandar Kulkarni) are studding in a same college. Ashutosh in F.Y. and Ranjeet in F.Y.P.G. Both are gay. Ranjeet has accepted his sexuality. He is out with his family and some people close to him. Ashutosh is confused. He is aware of his difference, but is unable to accept it even to himself. He is facing many questions about himself and his sexual orientations. He is terrified by certain experiences.
Ashutosh and Ranjeet meet in the college and it leads to a new relation.
Ashutosh accepts himself due to courage drawn from Ranjeet. Their relationship strengthens day by day and leads to still new questions.
"Na Yetee...." is the story of this not so accepted relationship and many personal as well as social questions it leads to.....

'Dreams Of Talim'
'Dreams Of Talim' is a play about theater, love, passion, longing, acceptance and rejection.
Anay, a young and ambitious theater director is thrilled when Sita, the acclaimed but enigmatic actress, agrees to work with him in his new play, No.1 Madhavbagh. Abandoned by most of his young colleagues, except for his lover Yash, it's a great opportunity for Anay to bolster a fledgling career. But when rehearsals begin nothing goes to plan. Anay fears he has lost Yash, and Sita struggles to come to terms with gay relationships. the line between reality and fantasy is blurred, and our characters are forced to examine their beliefs and convictions in the mirror of the play.
Written by Sachin Kundalkar.
Directed by Sunil Shanbag.
Actors : Divya Jagdale, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Anand Tiwari, Suvrat Joshi.

Why do we need to see plays to change our perspectives? Cant we respect people's individuality? Jst like I have a right to choose whom i like and so "NO" to someone whom i dont like, cant the person next to me have the same right? Why is he forced to choose someone whom he doesnt want to be with? If I cant get along with the same-sex person and spend my life in peace and satisfaction , why should I choose someone else?
ReplyDeleteMy views on homosexuals might be too liberal and many of my friends may not like it. But guys this is not a war and if I say I have known the nature of many of you guys I just want to say one thing. DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY ;) Its time to change and grow up..
निशा मला नाही वाटत कोणीही तुझं मत पर्सनली घेईल. हाच व्ह्यू सगळ्यांनी स्विकरायला हवा म्हणून चाललेल्या प्रयत्नांचा ही प्रायोगिक नाटकं एक भाग आहेत. पत्रकार म्हणून आपणही काहीही लिहिताना या गोष्टीचा अशाच पद्धतीने विचार करुन लिहिलं पाहिजे. रिकी मार्टीन बद्दलही लिहीताना तो एक माणूस आहे,त्याला ज्या पद्धतीने जगणं सोईस्कर वाटतं तसं त्याला जगू द्यावं, अशी भूमिका हवी होती. पत्रकार समाजाची भूमिका ठरवतात,असं म्हटलं जातं(अर्थात कोणाबद्दल काही बोलणारे हे कोण, हा प्रश्न आहेच)so 'माणूस' म्हणूनच सगळ्यांकडे बघण्याची सवय आपल्याला लागणं खुप जास्त गरजेचं आहे. मग ती 'कॉल गर्ल' असो, त्रीतीयपंथी असो किंवा 'गे'.......

ReplyDeleteBy the way whose 'synopsis' is this?
ReplyDeleteTopic is really serious. I agree with Nisha- that we have to respect 'the individuality'. But I am also personally against glorifying such matters. If it is personal keep it like that. Don't descriminate and don't hype.
