Since the very beginning theater has been an influential factor in my life, a mode to express myself and live a practical life. Discovering this beautiful art from rituals done centuries ago. Stepping to Athens in Greece, drama there has probably taught us how to understand one’s grief by analyzing his tragedy. Traveling long and far the theater touched Rome where a moment of relaxation and laughter took place. Theater never allowed you to hide your emotions; you do what you feel like even if your face is behind the mask. Learning of Ramayana and Mahabharata via theater has made the young generation aware about existence of humanism. Romeo and Juliet, Orpheus and Eurydice, Paolo and Francesca, Layla and Majnun- they aren’t just stories, they remind that there is still Love in the world.
Theatre is not just about acting, it touches and introduces you to the inner you. It brushes your concealed personality. What could be better than being self expressed. We students end up stressing about studies; theatre is the element which practically gives us learning. How amazing it is to communicate with people never met before. Thank you for growing me, helping me to stand up in public, realisation of mistakes. Learning process never stops I still have a lot to gain. Wish you all a Happy World’s Theatre Day!
