Wie schon im letzten Jahr mit „The Press Conference“ nutzt die Plotpourri Theatre Group auch jetzt wieder die Bühne, um auf ein weithin ignoriertes gesellschaftliches Problem hinzuweisen. Ihr geht es darum, die Menschen auf eindrucksvolle Weise für das Schicksal der Devadasis zu sensibilisieren, denn dies ist keineswegs Geschichte: Auch heute leben und leiden hunderttausende von Frauen in Indien als Devadasis. Surpiyo und sein Team geben vielen von ihnen – gemeinsam mit der Andheri Hilfe Bonn – Hoffnung auf ein Leben in Würde. Das ist sozial engagiertes Theater bester Klasse!"
Elvira Greiner [Erste Vorsitzende, Andheri-Hilfe Bonn]
Translation:
"What is this magic, fascinating the
audience? Supriyo Bandyopadhyay is nothing less than a magician who
makes the 500-year-old story of a devadasi come alive. The actors
take the audience on a journey, to a world betwen dream and reality.
They easily switch from Indian temple to German student's room and
connect cultures, eras and human beings in a unique way. They take up
their roles as devadasi, priest or king with such credibility, that
the audience is literally dragged into the story. Debarati Guha,
professionally trained in Indian dances, captures the audience's
attention with her subtle gestures, her mimic art and the intense
expression in her eyes. She lets the viewer share her hopes and
fears, her love and suffering.
Like in last year's performance „The
Press Conference“, Plotpourri Theatre Group takes the stage in order to raise awareness on a widely ignored social problem. Using
their impressive skills, the group wants to sensitize their viewers
for the fate of the devadasis, which is far more than a historical
fact: up to the present day, hundreds of thousands of women live and
suffer as devadasis in India. Supriyo and his team together with
Andheri-Hilfe Bonn give hope to many of them – hope for a life with dignity. This is socially engaged theatre at its best!"
