EVAM INDERJITH

               

            
'EVAM INDERJIT'
 Directed by Satyabrata Rout, Light Design by Murali Basa

Badal Sircar’s 'EVAM INDRAJIT', that went on to become an expression of the modern Indian situation has perhaps lost its sheen in a globalized age with youngsters who are fortified in many ways than their ancestors were. And yet, the play is as much about the existentialist question as it is about the urban youth of the sixties then. While the stories of Kamal, Amal, Vimal and (Evam) Indrajit may superficially hold no meaning for today’s "Generation Next", their dilemmas, especially Indrajit’s will forever remain. Badal Sircar did not merely write about the coming of age of four friends, he actually wrote about the vagaries of existence itself and it is this quality that makes the play a true classic, eternal in scope and magnitude. 

The play produced by "Avartana Group", Hyderabad, Directed by Sattabrata Rout, had given me an experience to explore my self to design lighting at various different situations. The show at Ravindra Bhawan, Goa, on 22nd October 2010, is much more interesting, even though the set was a little bit front of the lighting bars, the cross lights helped me to bring out the loneliness of Manasi and (Evam) Indrajit. The Music for the Caricaturistic charcters for Amal, Vimal and Kamal lighten up with a bright light to give more generative illustration meaning made by the director.
