During those days I have attended several events like One act play, Mono acting, western and solo song competation and rangoli.So this blog is a part of task activity given by our professor Dr.Dilip Barad sir in which we have to write down on events which were attented by us and try to interpret with various literary theory.

ONE ACT PLAY

In one act play session I have watched one act play: “Sikkani Triji Baju”. The play represents the suffering of the third gender. The title of this play is itself significant. Sikkani Triji Baju or Third side of coin- As we know that every coin has two side which is called as heads and tails. In the same way if we look in the society of humankind there are two gender which is known as Man or Woman. But what about the third gender? This play Sikkani Triji Baju tries to show the suffering of third gender and which types of problems they have to face and how they are humiliated by society.

  If we try to interpret this play with feminist perspective than we can say that this play represents the suffering of the mother or a girl who gave birth to the third gender child who known as Kinner or Hijada. She humiliated by society as far as humiliated by her own family members. She forced to leave the house. Rather than suffering this humiliation by family members she left the house and raised up her child alone.

MONO ACTING 

 I have seen a mono acting about the suffering of Lady Hawker which was very well performed and full of all types of emotions like happy, sad, anger. The situation of woman in patriarchal society was reflected by this mono acting. It started with the comedy but suddenly it was moving from comedy to seriousness, when a customer asked her about her daughter. With the full of tears in her eyes, she gave explanation about the condition of her daughter to whom her in laws sold somewhere. During this mono acting she generated the catharsis among all audience and was able to make the audience cry with her lively performance.
