Grand celebration of 2-day Theatrical Fest ‘Euphenia' at CMS

Lucknow, April 29 : A two day theatrical presentation “Euphenia’ began here today under the aegis of City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar Campus I at the Campus Auditorium. The programme began auspiciously with the lighting of lamp by the CMS Manager, Prof. Geeta Gandhi Kingdon. Addressing the students on this occasion, Prof. Geeta Kingdon stated that theatre has great importance in our lives. While on the one hand it develops values of creativity and collaboration among students through scripting and costume designing, on the other hand, it develops eloquent expression and character formation through dialogue delivery and acting prowess. Prof. Kingdon congratulated the actors and artistes for the powerful performances and messages conveyed through plays. She was sure that the students had learnt a lot during the enactment of these classic plays performed so well on stage.     

           On the first day of Euphenia, two classic plays were presented.The all time favourite Shakespearean tragedy of ‘Julius Caesar’ and the Indian epic story ‘Prem Ramayana’ were presented before an enthusiastic audience in a new avatar with original and innovative thought and artistry.The evergreen and gripping tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare won the hearts of the audience with actors exhibiting great skill and histrionic abilities. In Prem Ramayana the unconditional love of Ram and Sita which transcended time and history was forcefully depicted leaving the spectators dumbstruck with Divine joy and happiness.  A lot of clapping and cheering followed as the curtains came down after the thrilling display of sheer talent by the students of CMS Gomti Nagar Campus. In the role of Julius Caesar was Pavni Agarwal while Brutus and Mark Antony roles were performed by Arina Khan and Manash Jindal respectively. Similarly, in the afternoon session, Prem Ramayana was staged, with renowned director and playwright, Mr Atul Satya Kaushik stealing the show with his directorial genius combining the best of Indian traditional art and its modern interpretation. The drama was based on Lord Rama’s exile and war with demon King Ravana, but more importantly, it brought out the feelings of love, respect and affection in this epic story. Both the plays were powerfully presented and much applauded by the audience. In the role of Ram was Vansh Awasthi of Class XII while in the role of Sita was Class XII student, Aditi Tripathi. 

           Principal of CMS Gomti Nagar Campus I, Mrs Abha Anant said that such classic plays impart values to children and make them aware of our ancient culture and heritage.
