Lok Boli Mela Pulling crowds

Published November 24, 2008

JARANWALA, Nov 23: Theater performances are drawing large audiences at Lok Boli Mela in Jaranwala with most of the people getting first opportunity to have a glimpse of purposeful and alternate theater.

Chhipen Ton Pehlan (before sunset) by an Indian playwright Davender Daman, which was performed by Punjab Lok Rahs, is especially observing matchless silence during the performance, which is otherwise a difficult task to attain in a mela.

The long play deals with the struggle and hanging of Bhagat Singh, the son of Jaranwala.

The theater awe is not confined to Bhagat Singh rather a children performance, "Jeebho jani di kahani", which artistically addresses the environment issue, gets even more audience.—APP
