மௌனத்தின் நிழலில் - aathipan - 11-17-2003 <img src='http://www.yarl.com/forum/files/mounathin-nilalil1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'> [size=18]மௌனத்தின் நிழலில் --------------------------------- Battling war and silence -------------------------------- The Lionel Wendt Theatre festival continues with Mounathin Nillalil by Sumathy Sivamohan on Nov. 23. 'Mounathin Nillalil' written and directed by Gratiaen award winner Sumathy is an adaptation in Tamil of "In the Shadow of the Gun", winner of the 2001 Gratiaen Prize for English literature along with "The Wicked Witch" and is played by a cast of three, Sharmini Masilamani, Vijayashanthan and Sumathy herself. 'Mounathin Nillalil' narrates the story of women in wartime and how they confront and negotiate with the power of silence overpowering their lives. Savithri, an activist goes in search of women who narrate their stories. She sees herself as the 'mother of the nation'. She runs into an older lower middle class woman who asks Savithri, "What women's group?" In many ways this question haunts the play. What are women's issues, what do women's groups do, how does one delve deep into one's psyche? Her poignant story of light and dark, good and bad, men and women propels Savithri to move on, outside the domestic space. Suddenly she sees a woman shot and wounded in a street corner. What is her story? The lines between home and street are blurred here. What is the nature of the violence perpetrated against and by women? Is it from outside or does it arise from the depths of society itself? Savithri gets caught up in the same cycle of violence that is part of the stories of the women. Savithri in the end becomes a narrative in her own narration like the stories of the two victims of rape who dare to challenge conventional wisdom. The tussle between Savithri's narration and the narratives of the women forms the crux of the play. This production is sponsored by The Sunera Trust and other well wishers. Music for the production is by Vasuki Walker and Sumathy, set and costume by Nimal Ekanayake. Ryan Holsinger handles the lighting with stills by Lakshman Nadaraja. - aathipan - 11-18-2003 சுமதியின் மௌனத்தின் நிழலில் வெற்றி பெற வாழ்த்துகிறேன். - AJeevan - 11-18-2003 அவியே செவனல்ல யட்ட ஆயுத நிழலின் கீழ் in the shadow of the gun மௌனத்தின் நிழலில்............(ஆயுத நிழலின் கீழ்)போன்ற மேடை நாடகங்கள் தமிழில் வெளியே தெரியும்படி வந்திருப்பது , மேடை தமிழ் நாடகக் கலை இலங்கையில், இன்னும் உயிரோடு இருப்பதை உணர்த்துகிறது. மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துக்கள்.
