DANCE DRAMA "KAVITA MEIN KRISHAN"
The Song and Drama Division of the Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting is presenting a dance-drama programme
"Kavita Mein Krishan" on the occasion of Lord Krishna’s
birthday (Janamashtami) at the Siri Fort Auditorium, tomorrow.
Vice-President, Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawat will inaugurate the
programme and the Information and Broadcasting Minister, Smt.
Sushma Swaraj will be present.
"Kavita Mein Krishan" is an attempt
to showcase the legend and different nuances of Lord Krishna through
the medium of dance drama. Krishna has been a motivating force
behind many epics, dance dramas, novels etc., written over thousands
of years. There is hardly any medium of art and literature where
Krishna has not been portrayed as a symbol of universal love,
fraternity peace and righteousness. His legends, stories, escapades
find mention in every discipline of art and literature. That is
why it is very difficult to put forward a presentation, which
seems original.
Hence, "Kavita Mein Krishan" seeks
to discover the preacher of Geeta through the creations of poets
of Bhakti Movement – right from Jaidev, Vidyapati, Bihari, Ghananand,
Raskhan, Surdas, Nand Das, Meera to Bhartendu Harishchandra and
Jagan Nath Das Ratnakar.
The dance-drama "Kavita mein Krishan"
has been scripted by Bal Swarup Rahi and choreographed by Smt.
Shovana Narayanan. Well-known theatre personalities Dolly Ahluwalia
and Robin Das have added their inputs in the production.
