An attempt to awaken conscience of society
Artistic creations are images of reality. These crystallise reality so as to facilitate and stimulate social action. Instead of pursuing the illusions in vain, the creator of ‘Kaala Ilam’, Ranji Rahi, sculpted a meaningful thesis bringing into sharp focus, an evil ailing a segment of society comprising the poverty-stricken farmers.
Dr Sahib Singh crafted a touching drama with the same title and staged it today at the Tagore Theatre under the aegis of the Adakar Manch, Mohali. The viewers with a rural base in the packed hall must have appreciated the crude realities such as sharing a wife among eligible bachelor brothers. The play depicted the plight of poor farmers, who, driven by the financial constraints, are forced to sacrifice their emotions to save the inevitable division of their ancestral property or agricultural land. The Tribune group of newspapers is the media sponsor for the play Kaala Ilam, which is an attempt to awaken the slumbering conscience of society and the government with its potent thematic content. The dialogues effectively brought into focus the existential truths concerning human nature. Dr Sahib Singh played the protagonist. Heera emerged as a theatre icon and proponent of social parity and justice for the poor pastoral people. He brought alive the complex character of a jatt with a tender heart. Episodes like losing his father and mother marrying his uncle, dejected by his fiancée Jeeto marrying his step-brother Dheera and cursed to perpetual mental torture, all jostle his mind. But the love of mother keeps him energetic to face all odds. All actors did justice to their roles, making it a memorable presentation. Well, known poet Sham Singh conducted the proceedings. Rajinder Rosy, Navalpreet Rangi, Preetinder, Supreet Kaur, Aman Bhaogal, Jaswinder Singh, Arvinder Singh played the lead roles. Lights by Parveen Jaggi and music by Jatinder Shah augmented the production level.

When parents got chance to explore themselves
The Centre for Education and Voluntary Action’s (CEVA) workshop for parents, held at Guru Harkrishan Senior Secondary School, Sector 38-D, was interesting in many ways.
It was all about mothers learning theatre exercises, psycho-physical exercises aimed at exploring oneself, ones relationships and situations. There were exercises to enhance performance skills, puppetry and storytelling. On the first day a list of expectations was invited from parents who requested for all sorts of interesting things, while some were eager to learn new behaviours, others wished to awaken the child within. There were others interested in learning how to handle both their and their children’s needs, handle difficult questions, learn to deal with conflicts and negativity. Many were keen to know how to communicate in ‘subtle and non-aggressive ways’ and how to strike a balance between strictness and pampering. The workshop addressed all these fears and many more. The stress was on letting go and re-inventing oneself as a parent. Interactive as it was and no holds barred too, the workshop evoked a lot of interest. Many parents were already asking for more, especially Mr Rinki Manocha who said, “I would have gained a lot if I had attended this kind of a workshop 40 years ago”. Ms Lalitha Prakash, another parent, said, “When one attends such workshops a sense of fulfilment prevails. I have got the answer to many questions and I can expect to clear many more doubts now”. The CEVA resource group consisted of Jayshree Raina, Ana Maduriera, Luisa and Harleen Kohli. Harleen, the brain behind the workshop, says, “We all that there is a need for more such efforts for parents. We designed the workshop activities to include plenty of sharing and mutual counselling, as well as lots of activities in which parents discover own skills and good qualities and hence gain confidence to parent their kids with more self-assurance. We wanted the parents to feel that they are on a stronger footing when dealing with school managements and teachers and so we dealt with teaching approaches and processes also”.
