‘By
keeping the windows closed, you create a border’,
these are the words of the play. And - at last the
window of the house is the symbol of the window of
one’s own self. After the killings of thousands of
people in communal conflict, we have stopped asking
a
few questions to our selves.
This play brings out
a
few questions – and one
question;
Who are we?
Like the characters of this play, who have an
answer.
we also have an answer –
we, are a different kind…
The play begins with loud shlokas of Shradh (for
death) and ends with shlokas of Vishwa Shanti (for
peace) with a beautiful poem….for awakening the mass
for peace …for discouraging ‘bhasmasoor’…(demon of
destruction) by changing one’s self …by changing the
false impressions and nurtured hatred inside us …
The Play is an effort of the theatre artists to
visually create a desirable picture of a peaceful
society by burning our hatred through looking at
differences between ‘us’ and ‘them’ differently …
