Today’s Allied Activities

Due to Holi festival on 2 March 2018, no play was scheduled on that day. Therefore, there was no ‘Meet the Director’ session held today.

Students of 4 colleges out of 60 colleges of Delhi presented their plays under the umbrella of “Advitiya”, a segment for the young talents during the 8th Theatre Olympics.

• Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology: The play ‘De Taali’ leaves a question mark on us – the ones who chose their fate, based on the gender they chose and challenges the liberty we take to define the limits of their lives.
• Sri Aurobindo College: The play ‘Atithi Bhava’ focuses on bringing forward the true story behind the distorted history to restore our belief on the motherland we thrive upon.
• Gobind Ballabh Pant Engineering College: ‘20’ showcases how an individual loses his/her identity when they erect their leader. The division done on the basis of religion which causes conflict within mankind.
• Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College: “Surname” narrates the quest to find our individual identities, free from the shadows of our family name. The play focuses on how we should stop viewing fathers as giving trees and acknowledge them as dads.  

The zest for life prevailing among the people of Haryana was wonderfully displayed through various dance forms on the stage of 8th Theatre Olympics 2018. The dancers from Haryana performed the regional dance of ‘Phaag’, which is a seasonal dance form of the farmers usually performed in the month of ‘Phalgun’. The dance involved men and women wearing colourful traditional clothes, moving on the beats of ‘Tasha’, ‘Nagada’, and ‘Dhol’. The folk dance of ‘Ghoomar’ was also performed by women dancers which added to the joy and jubilation among the audience.
