India Green Reality Pvt.
Ltd., a company that provides real quality constructions and deluxe living
spaces in association with Darpani, a premiere dance institution, have come up
with the distinctive idea of organizing one of the most notable and distinguished
harmonious dramas of Tagore, Shyama –
The Dusky Dame, announced by Amitava Samanta, Director, India Green Reality
Pvt. Ltd. and dance guru Arnab Bandhopadhyay, the founder of Darpani at a Press
Conference.
Shyama is
one of the three dance musicals written by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore that not
only reflects Tagore’s artistic and philosophical response to both the
turbulence and turmoil of pre-Independence of India but also Hitler’s
persecution and maltreatment of Jews in Germany. The story of Shyama is based on a Buddhist legend, about which Tagore had
written a poem, Parishodh (Repayment), in 1899. This was what he expanded and
developed into the full dance musical Shyama.
Shyama
is
essentially a romantic tragedy, though there are two love stories entwined,
both of Shyama and Bajrosen, who are initially both in search of their ideal
partners, and that of the unexpressed, unilateral love Uttiyo has for Shyama which leads Uttiyo to sacrifice
himself for her happiness. Shyama is
known to many of the 230 million Bengali-speaking people around the world and
many of the songs are also well-liked and much loved in their own right.
Amitava
Samanta, Director, India Green Reality Pvt. Ltd., said, “Shyama being
Tagore's last key work for the stage
that illustrates the exclusive and matchless permutation of song, dance and color,
we have decided to showcase it in the present ethnicity with a touch of vibrant
and aesthetic customs.”
Arnab Bandhopadhyay, the
dance guru and the creator of Darpani, further added, “The sole aim of portraying Shyama
is to restore the rich cultural heritage of Bengal and to unleash the true
spirit of dance by the amalgam of the classical dance forms and the ever
evolving art of choreography. We want that the grand work piece of Tagore should be
revived whenever feasible reaching millions of hearts every time so that the
ensemble cast of this bona fide, colorful, widescreen film version should never
be forgotten.”
This extraordinary dance
musical drama of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Shyama, would be performed at G.D. Birla Sabhaghar on July 8, 2012 by
Arnab and his troupe (Darpani) who is believed to have performed in the
prestigious Dance festivals earning huge accolades in the grand presence of
eminent and legendary personalities like Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Sraboni Sen,
Satinath Mukhopadhyay , Soumili Biswas and many others to make the evening
unforgettable and remarkable. The artistic and creative ambience would
definitely engrave and leave an everlasting and eternal impression in the
hearts of thousands of people.
