Rang Mohan - Youth Festival was celebrated by
Maharaja Karishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University from 25th to 28th
September and was hosted by Sport department
of our university. In this youth festival many students from various inter
collages have performed in various activities. The main aim behind the
celebration of youth festival is to bring out the hidden talents or skills of
an individual. As 2019 is being celebrated as a 150th birth
anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the main theme of Youth festival was based life
of Mahtma Gandhi.
25th September- the
first day of Youth Festival was marked as a Kala yatra in which various performances were presented by
students which were highly based on Gandhian theme, indeed they presented a
whole journey of Gandhi from Mohan to Mahtma. Beside it the current factors of
digitalization and the campaign of cleanliness were very innovatively included
in Kala Yatra by students.Events like group songs, Bhajan,
Shastriya Sangit, skit,one act play, Mimicry, Mime, Solo song, one act play,
painting, poster making, clay modeling and many others were involved in the
Youth Fest.
Skit
Skit is a theatrical activity
which I found more interesting than any other in Youth Fest.
Skit is a theatrical activity in
which indirectly through the flow of dialogues harsh hitting is done on power
system, wrong beliefs of society as well as it also showcases how certain
traditional notions are dangerous for society.
In Youth Fest there was one skit
which is highly based on absurdity. When human relationships becomes more
artificial like mechanism, do anything remain for living? In that skit commodity
of human relationship were presented. No one is happy with whatever they have,
either they are in searching of someone or something. There is woman who wants
to buy a husband or other one who hates her own father. In way it showcases the
changing phase of society and relationships of family.
While talking about skit, how
can we forget to present which are going around us? What I think is that there
should be a skit on how economic strength is being used in various sector in
order to get the certain position.😂 How we feel when we do not get anything in
form of reward even after working hard. Though it is not a matter of blaming on
anyone for our failure, karma always pays off!!! But here again question that
really karma pays off?
LGBT – the skit under this title
is performed by the girls of department of English which is highly satirical one
which is doing harsh hitting on the mentality of so called society. The
struggle of homosexual and legalization of homosexuality under the section of 377
in Indian constitutions were represented in it.
Mime
Mime is a well known theatrical
medium which are used by mime artist in order to bring out various elements of
art in various capacities. Mime is performed only by using body gesture, there
is no use of dialogues. In the youth festival seven mimes were presented by
students.
Though it is a difficult task, different
contemporary problems such as robotic science and its danger in upcoming
year, Pera-Olympic and essence or spirit of handicapped people, losing identity
of lion were included in various mimes in different capacities.
