Ariyennunnor taps scope of invisible theatre
An old man in worn-out clothes was seen roaming around the Thrissur city on Thursday afternoon.
“Will you please give me some rice. I want to make porridge (kanji),” he kept asking people on the road. Only when he reached the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi campus, people realised that it was part of a solo performance, Ariyennunnor, staged by Rangachethana at the HOPE Fest.
Artistic director and performer of Rangachetana K.V. Ganesh has used the scope of invisible theatre in the play. The main property of the play was the rice collected from people as alms. The experience of the man forms the focal theme.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
