Naachni is a poignant tale of a folk artist, Kisuki Bai, whose craft propels her to the stature of a state dancer at a time when the feudal society is crumbling in India. Devoid of any patronage, she's left to struggle for a livelihood.
The narration depicts the protagonist's early childhood sufferings to being thrown into a world sans dignity, and then back to a society that does not value her art. A moving recital is the protagonist's conversation with an absent daughter.
Sindhu Mishra, deputy secretary, Sahitya Kala Parishad plays the character of Kisuki Bai. Bhanu Bharti of Andha Yug and Tughlaq fame helms the production.
For Mishra, the challenge lay in portraying a woman folk dancer in a society rapidly in transition. "The play is an expression of a woman who has been deprived of her life by a society that also tacitly wants every woman to conform to its norms. It is a story of how the woman is torn apart in a male dominated world. Naachni is an expression of a heartless life," says Mishra.
Playwright Bharti sees Naachni carrying another parallel: the loss of ground experienced by folk artists in the face of society's shift towards modern sources of entertainment.
"This loss of recognition and livelihood is something that our folk artists have experienced in contemporary times when technology is intruding in all spheres of human life. In Naachni we try to trace the life of a woman folk dancer through her own eyes," says Bharti, who has also worked closely with Bheel (tribal) groups of Gujarat in his quest for art and expression.
