Play Review: The Djinns of Eidgah
Play Review: The Djinns of Eidgah Date: August 16, 2013 Venue: Hindu Theatre Fest 2013 Bengaluru Review: Emotions-aspirations, hope-despair, freedom-abhorrence all seemed to be as intertwined as elflocks into the lives of the Kashmiri hoi polloi, in this masterpiece by Abhishek Majumdar. The Djinns wended through the beaded curtain surreally quick only to bloom hope through flying carpets for orphaned Ashrafiya on one hand, while to haunt Dr. Baig of memories of his now exanimate son, to the violence in Kashmir. The cacophony of thumping boots, mourning procession, gun-shots, shrieks and pale lightning, all kaleidoscopically brought the confusion and melancholy prevailing at the valley down to Bengaluru. Bilal, Coach and the two Indian sentries leave an indelible imprint through their performance.
