Drama Festival at Purisai

There was a festival of traditional dramatic forms organised at Purisai near Vandavasi last weekend. It was a complete treat for any theatre fan...

Some high points in the show:

Muruga Bupathi's - Miruga Vidhushagam was absolutely stunning in its imagery and well thought out content... it was a comment on the stranglehold of consumerism on people which acts through a mixture of greed and lack of awareness and education.

This was followed by Pralayan's group... who really gave life to the verbal satirical style of theatre..

The famous play written by Veerama munivar - Paramaartha Guru - was given life to by artists from Madurai, directed by Shanmugaraj... The play is a master piece in its way, highlighting at the same time the crime of being ignorant and the absurdity of being organised! The actors are to be commended for giving their all into their performances....
