Wings of Fire goes magical Titled, Wings of Illusion, the new programme is going to
be the first magical translation given to the visionary’s
autobiography.
Muthukad said this is a magical venture that visualises
the successful life story of Kalam, a boy who was born and brought up in
a rustic ambience of inadequacies but still became the country’s
president. "The 45-minute Wings of Illusion comprises of
video scenes projected on the screen and magic performed on the stage.
The magic scenes will unveil how the island town of Rameshwaram, where
the Islamic and Hindu hymns resounded in unison and nourished the sense
of communal harmony in the toddler’s mind," said the ace
magician. There are also scenes of an estranged sea bird flying across
the evening sun that instilled in the tender mind of the child, the
habit of dreaming about a world beyond horizons. Also told in the
magical language is the story of Iyyadurai Solomon one of the beloved
teachers of Kalam, who infused the boy with scientific temper. "It
also portrays the unusual determination with which Kalam as a scientist,
overcame the brunt of disappointment, when the first launch of SLV
failed," added Muthukad. There will also be an innovative cine
magic wherein the magician interacts with the characters of a film
projected on a screen, just to highlight a few messages. The show comes
to an end reiterating the president’s passionate call to usher the
country into an economically prosperous and industrially developed
nation by the year 2020. The premiere performance was in the state
capital on Oct 15, the 75th birthday of Kalam. Wings of Illusion
was conducted in all the other 13 district headquarters in the state
with the last performance on October 29 at Kasargode. —IANS
