THEATRE : Khilona presents "Apna Apna Bhagya" A musical adaptation of a folk tale from Kazakhastan at Epicentre, Gurgaon - 4th & 5th May 08

Event Details : Staging of the play 'Apna Apna Bhagya'.
Based on a Kazakh folk tale, Apna Apna Bhagya is the story of a lazy man named Qadir, who cannot figure out why his brother Ivan is prospering everyday, while his own life is deteriorating. His brother tells him that it is so because, perhaps, his Bhagya works very hard for him, while Qadir’s Bhagya is sleeping somewhere under the shade of a big tree.
Stupid that he is, Qadir sets out in search of his Bhagya so that he can wake ‘him’ up and ask him to start working !

On the way, he meets various characters, viz a Lion who cant get rid of his continuous stomach-ache; a family of peasants who are on the verge of death because inspite of all the hard-work, their fields don’t yield a crop; and finally a King, who inspite of all the riches at his disposal, is not happy. When Qadir tells them that he is on his way to meet the Bhagya, they request him to ask him to give a solution to their problems. Qadir promises, and moves on.
Finally Qadir does meet his Bhagya, who assures him of a bright future ahead, provided he does not miss the opportunity. Does Qadir succeed? Does Bhagya start working for him? What happens to him ? Shhh ! That’s a suspense to be revealed later !
The play also featured in the Bharat Rang Mahotsav organized by the National School of Drama to commemorate its Golden Jubilee in January 2008.
Lots of audience interaction, excellent music and a very interesting script / lyrics make this play a success with young and old alike.
