Coming soon... VIBGYOR
Violet - Indigo - Blue - Green - Yellow - Orange - Red
The colours of the sunlight, flooding the earth in every dawn.
Humankind has seen many dawns, time tells the story of them.
Imagine time is talking to you...
Telling the story of darkness and light. Rise and fall. Success and defeat.
But not of nations, kings and presidents, parties, clans and armies.
Imagine history written by the common people...
Like those who became the blossoms of a new spring, a new sunrise for humankind.

Devadasi: Stimmen unserer Zuschauer | Voices of our viewers
"Welche Magie ist es, die die Zuschauer in ihren Bann zieht? Supriyo Bandyopadhyay ist wahrlich ein Zauberkünstler, der die fünfhundert Jahre alte Geschichte der Devadasi lebendig werden lässt. Die Schauspieler entführen die Zuschauer in eine Welt zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit. Sie wechseln mühelos zwischen indischem Tempel und deutschem Studentenzimmer und knüpfen ein Band, das in einzigartiger Weise Kulturen, Zeiten und Menschen miteinander verwebt. Die Schauspieler schlüpfen so überzeugend in ihre Rolle als Devadasi, als Priester oder König, dass die Zuschauer wie von einem Sog in die Geschichte hineingezogen werden. Debarati Guha, die in Indien Tanzunterricht genossen hat, fesselt mit ihren feinen Gesten, mit ihrer gekonnen Mimik, mit dem intensiven Ausdruck ihrer Augen. Sie lässt die Zuschauer mit hoffen und bangen, lieben und leiden.
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!"

Devadasi - Zusammenfassung / Synposis
Was enthüllt der Traum? Was verbirgt die Nacht? Zwei junge Frauen, die
etwas verbindet.
What does the dream reveal? What is hidden in the night? Two young
women who are connected to each other
Was die eine nur ahnt, ist für die andere schmerzliche Realität. Denn ihre
Stellung ist herausgehoben, aber in dieser Stellung ist sie ohne Schutz.
Am Tag vollführt sie den Tanz zu Ehren des Gottes, dem ihr Leben geweiht
wurde. In der Nacht verändert sich alles für die beiden Frauen. Die eine
findet etwas, die andere verliert etwas – sich selbst.
One of them has a vague perception of what is the painful reality for the
other. Because her position is special, but in this position she is without
shelter. In the daytime she performs the dance to honour the God, to
whom her life was dedicated. At night, something changes for both
women. One finds something, the other one loses something – herself.
Die Andheri-Hilfe begleitet das Projekt mit Hintergrundinformationen zur
Abschaffung des Devadasi-Systems - http://www.andheri-hilfe.de/.
The Andheri-Hilfe accompanies the project with background information
on the abolition of the devadasi-system.
