Ahead of Dussehra, Delhiites are making a beeline for the various Ramilila shows across the city .Connaught Place's Central Park has come alive with unique enactment of the Ramayana by the Indian Revival Group, a professional dance group. Open to all in the heart of CP, hundreds queued up to see the Ramlila show, which uses theatrical and dance techniques to captivate the audience. The show is unique because classical dance forms are being used in the performances.
"We want to promote our country's rich cultural heritage and we have embraced so many dance and theatrical techniques in our show, it will be a new experience for the audience," said Papiha Desai, the chief choreographer. The show spanning two hours and 15 minutes sees about 30 dancers performing in front of the live audience.
In Shriram Bhartiya Kala Kendra, organisers for the first time are using animations as part of their annual Ramlila show. "Some of the important scenes from the Ramayana which we cannot show on stage are being done through animations, for which we are using special projectors. The audience will get to see scenes like Hanuman flying to Lanka, the epic fight between Ram and Ravan, burning of Lanka, Ram crossing the bridge to Lanka and his final return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravan will come alive through projections," said director and vice-chairperson Shobha Deepak Singh. For the 45 actors involved in the show, choreography is also extremely critical. "This time, we also have new dancers and new costumes in the show," added Singh.
Akshara Theatre also has a show which, organisers say, is a contemporary enactment of the traditional Ramlila. Written by playwright-director Gopal Sharman, the dramatic intensity of the script explores the characters of Ram and Sita. In its original one-woman version The Ramayana was performed on Broadway in New York, London's West End, the Smithsonian Institution, United Nations Headquarters and more than 35 cities and towns in India.
The current version still has Jalabala Vaidya performing the opening and closing Acts of the play, with a cast of 12 actors. "The focus will be on the human emotions of Ram and Sita. Ours is a serious play and the only supernatural character will be that of Hanuman. The show will focus on the evolution of Ram's character as philosophical, thoughtful person to a determined and stronger persona when Sita is abducted," explained Jalabala Vaidya, the chief performer.
