Moscow Musical Theater 'Reverse'.

Even the word Brilliant is not Justifying the Stunning performance of Moscow Musical Theater 'Reverse' which I saw today Evening at Maharana Pratap Auditorium, Jaipur.

The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and Department of State Support of the Art and Folk Creativity of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation signed a Protocol to organize the Cultural Days / Festivals in each other’s country.

In accordance with this Protocol, IRCC had hosted the visit of Moscow Music Theatre “Reverse” under the “Days of Russian Culture in India” today at Jaipur.

The unusual experimental production has been created by young Russian directors Andrey Koltsov and Irina Drozhzhina, with the participation of Debra Brown, famous Canadian choreographer and the Emmy Award winner. The audience was treated with a vibrant and dynamic theatrical performance with tricks, flying pylons and elements of circus choreography. This show blurred the boundaries between the dramatic and plastic theater and thrilled the viewers to core.

The experimental performance “Reverse” by the Moscow Music Theater is about the external and internal struggle of a human. It tells about its lowest and most beautiful manifestations, which appear only in extreme situations. It tells about conflicting qualities of human nature. It tells about the desire to transform and return to his former self. And, eventually, it tells about the main choice that every person has to make at least once in a lifetime.

Below are few glimpses from the iconic performance.

Diwali ki Safai.

A mobile shot taken today while I was enjoying our annual “Diwali Safai Festival”. 

Basically “Diwali or Deepawali ki Safai” is an annual Hindu festival which is celebrated every year few days before the Deepawali. 

In this festival basically all the Hindus have to complete two tasks. 

First - thoroughly clean their homes and work places. 

Second - have to discard all the unwanted and useless things. 

I should say one more thing here that Diwali ki Safai is basically a Hindu Festival but in my lifetime I had seen Muslim and other religion families also celebrating this festival with same enthusiasm. This religion hatred and tension is the gift of Politicians for their own benefits. Otherwise we Indians are very happy go lucky people, who don’t care about which religion has to celebrate which festival, as long as it is a festival most of us celebrate anything and everything.

But being a Indian Hindu from last 39 years and celebrating this Diwali ki Safai Festival every year, I had never - ever came across a single family or a person who had completed the second task successfully. Every year in my own home we come across many unwanted and useless things which we know we had not used from years and most probably are not going to use in future also but . . .  We don’t discard it every year those things might change the place but we don’t discard them. . . “Jane Kab Jarurat Pad Jaye” (don’t know when we would need them). 

For example - below you will see a picture of a Dirty Skateboard which is more than 30 years old, my parents got it for me when I was kid. I had hardly used it nor do I have any plans to use it in future also, all the bearings of its tires got rusted and are not usable. In last 30 years the whole design and materials by which skateboards are made have been changed. In these 30 years we had changed 2 homes but still . . . Jane Kab Jarurat Pad Jaye. . . 

Meha Jha from Lucknow Gharana.

Yesterday evening Meha Jha Kasliwal gave a beautiful Kathak performance on the potery of Hazrat Amir Khusro - Ambwa Talay Dola Rakh de Niharwa. . .

The occasion was of the annual dance festival of “Mudra Academy of performing Arts” which held at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Meha Jha is the founder director of Mudra Academy of performing Arts Jaipur, Rajasthan. Who started her journey into Kathak in Lucknow (Gharana) style when she was just 8 years old.

Kathak is found in three distinct forms, called "Gharanas", named after the cities where the Kathak dance tradition evolved – Jaipur, Banaras and Lucknow. While the Jaipur Gharana focuses more on the foot movements, the Banaras and Lucknow Gharanas focus more on facial expressions and graceful hand movements.
