Kathmandu, Dec. 18
Theatre Mall has started to
stage celebrated one-act play of Govinda Bahadur Mall Gothale, 'Bhoko Ghar'.
The play, directed by Kedar
Shrestha, portrays a life of a family in the 1970s and is relevant even to
date.
'Bhoko Ghar' is a story of a
middle-class family which entirely depends upon the earning of the father to
feed them up.
When the father loses his job,
the family experiences a severe economic crisis, and they have nothing to eat.
The family is forced to fast almost every day.
As a result, the mother every now and then talks about delicious food
and links everything to food and fests.
Likewise, their daughter has hallucinations
that she was a princess of a fairy tale who was dead and later brought to life
by a handsome prince. She dreams her eyes wide open and talks such issues that
make no sense to the present crisis that the family is undergoing. Similarly,
the son talks about the sociological aspects of various things.
Father is busy on making plans
for the survival of the family, but he receives a severe blow when his creditor
denies paying him more money as the family had borrowed more than 1.5 million
rupees.
The family has nothing to
survive on. The play ends there.
The beauty of the play is that
it touches upon the psychological aspects of having no economic resources. Each
character is enlivened by brilliant performance of Aakash Magar, Shanti Giri,
Sudam CK, Sanjita Sanjee and Abhaya Baral. The take the audience away with
their near to life acting.
The play is a 'must-watch'. It
will be staged till 7th January 2017.
