LUCKNOW, Nov. 30 -- Amid a cold winter evening, the Uttar Pradesh Sangeet Natak Akademi reverberated with the sounds of Kabir bhajans as part of the 10th edition of Kabir Festival here on Saturday. On the second day of the three-day festival, singer Vipul Rekhi, famous for presenting verses of Kabir and Sufi saints in musical form, delivered a special performance. Along with Kabir's bhajans, Rekhi also conveyed the deeper essence behind the songs. Explaining Kabir's definition of love, he said, "Love is not something in which two people remain as two separate individuals. According to Kabir, true love is that in which no difference remains between the two and they become one." He later sang 'Haman Hain Ishq Mastana', and infused the evening with a Sufi flavour through songs like 'Chaap Tilak' and 'Raatu Jhoom Jhoom'. A mushaira was also held as part of the festival in which Gulab Muntashir, Piyush Agnihotri, Vandana Verma 'Anam', Balwant Singh and Saleem Siddiqui rendered their compositions. Besides, a session 'Baat Niklegi To Phir Door Talak Jayegi' was held in which discussion was held on media, journalism, reporting and advertising pressures. After the session, students of Jamia Millia Islamia presented a play 'Andhadhundh' based on cleanliness and social responsibility. The play was directed by Yagyesh, while Alvia, Sadaf, Yagyesh and Nitin played main roles. The showstopper for the day was a play 'Mass' staged by theatre actor Jyoti Dogra. Built on physical expression, voice, breath patterns and minimal stage design, the play shook the audience to the core. The story of the play does not rest on a single character. Instead, it is centred around "mass"-which Jyoti presents as the human body. It is a body that a person lives in, a body shaped by society, and a body constantly broken and moulded by the pressures of power, systems, and relationships. Dogra shows how a human being is both imprisoned within their body and at the same time, possesses the power to resist through the body....
