to me, is creativity personified.
the art to be able to make a person sitting right in front of you see, believe and feel what you want him/her to. you have to do it right there... in flesh and blood, without the luxury of the movies where you can correct your mistakes. no technology can come to your rescue here, one moment of being out of the character, one fumble in dialogue, the link you establish with the audience is gone.
having said that...
we went for this set of two plays... Mouse and Positions at the rangashakara last Saturday.
i was not impressed.
They did play around with the lighting, and the dialogues, but there was an absolute lack of creativity. No emotions,no drama, no story.
Mouse: was a different concept so to speak, but just did not drive home a point. no ACTING... just dialogue narration.
Positions: was a combination of 6 plays(situations enacted), not interlinked. no story just situations picked up from daily life and enacted, no motive, no connection.
was quite disappointed. but then being to rangashankara, seeing it for myself how the place(a dream brought to life) has taken shape was an experience in itself.
