Noori ~ Jam Tamachi |
|||||
The eternal thirst for the dear one , the thirst that manifests itself in the pinning eyes, the sobs and sighs, the trickling tears, the hopes and fears, the joys and sorrows of unions and separations and a host of emotions that are linked together with sweet, sincere and simple LOVE ~ the thread that wove this entire fascinating fabric was the tender conception of 'Sikka Sajan Jee' ~ The Lingering Longing for the Loved one. 'Sikka Sajan
Jee' was first staged in 1982 marking the debut of Anila Sunder's foray
into the world of dance dramas and it consists of about eleven dances
- solo, duet and group. Wrought in the Kathak style, the ballet literally
takes the clock ages back evoking nostalgic sentiments in the audience.
Anila depicts the yearning of Moomal, the agony of Sasui, the chastity
of Maruee, the ecstasy of Noori, the repentance of Leela, and the courage
of Suhini, all with such sparkling spontaneity and impressive expression,
that one feels one is floating in a world of fantasy where the heroines
(Soormyoon) of Shah Abdul Latif have come to life. It is a wonderful combination
of sensitive dialogues, exotically choreographed dances, dazzling sets
and lights, superb music and colourful costumes which are a feast to the
eyes. |
