Guys are you up for the theatre marathon !!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally I made it to the show on 17th May. Time I got to know about this show somewhere by 28th April, that's when I wrote above blog with show details, things were held up at planning stage. I was looking for some ones company, which I didn't get, obviously it was drama, more obvious it was 9 hour long drama. In between these days, I was travelling to my home town for one or the other reason. With TCS10K on Sunday, I dared to fix my plan for watching the show on Friday night, then rest on Saturday and run on Sunday. I travelled to the venue Kalagram, Bangalore University on Friday evening and believe me it took 3 long hours to reach there amid changing 3 buses and a rick. I eventually reached to the show at 9.10, to my luck show started at 9 else I would have missed good 40 mins of the show.
Well, the show started at one of the amphitheatre inside Kalagram, with a descent crowd turned up for it, I could see lots of actors on the stage, and stage itself was so huge and well designed, you need to literally turn your head 180 degrees either side to watch few scenes. Songs where played to which actors danced and went around the stage. Conversations on the stage where very clear and I could hear all the jokes played, all the silent conversation the actors used on stage. First break came after around 2 hours into play, having missed my dinner, I had some snacks which were priced decently high. I had tea and moved to second stage which was around 50 meters distance. Show continued to please me with excellent acting, dialogue delivery and jokes. Costumes were excellent, I could feel malenadu region was just brought in front of the audience. I could make out how Kuvempu played with characters & understood the traits of each of character before putting it on to paper, something which is beyond ones cognizable ability. After the second part, there was break of 15 mins and we moved to third location. This part of the story captured more of the emotional part with few laughter moments. I could see lots of things happening in part 3 of the story which were intervened from the start of the story. Finally had the last break of the drama and everyone gathered at the last stage area where people sat on the floor, few already occupied place to sleep and sometime later I could hear their snores. Saying "All well that ends well" to some extent was applicable to this story except for the good message that is showed through a bit of dramatic end. To know what that is and experience this magnum opus, watch Malegalalli Madhumagalu.
Kudos to the MM team !!!!
P.S: Show is extended till 4th June 2013.
