The city of Lucknow prepares to welcome back a celebrated theatrical production. After two completely sold-out shows, the musical drama "Sahir – Har Ek Pal Ka Shayar" returns to the stage. It will perform once more at the Sant Gadge Ji Maharaj auditorium. This venue is part of the Sangeet Natak Akademi in Gomtinagar. The special encore performance is scheduled for this Friday, January 16.
A Deeper Look at the Poet's Soul
This production takes a unique approach to storytelling. It does not offer a standard, chronological biography of the legendary poet Sahir Ludhianvi. Instead, the play digs much deeper. It attempts to reveal the complex man who lived behind the famous verses. Audiences will meet a poet who wrote beautifully about love, yet experienced profound loneliness in his own life. The drama highlights his firm belief in social equality, which constantly clashed with the privileges surrounding him. His powerful words masterfully blended romance with a strong spirit of rebellion.
A Theatrical Tapestry of Poetry and Conflict
The narrative of the play is richly woven. It seamlessly combines Sahir's iconic poetry and songs with his personal inner conflicts. His ideological struggles are presented with great sensitivity. The director uses a compelling blend of traditional theatre and evocative music to tell this story. This method creates a powerful and immersive experience for the audience.
The Creative Team Behind the Magic
The script for this musical drama comes from the pen of Chandra Shekhar Varma. On stage, the character of Sahir is brought to life through a commanding performance by actor Sudhanshu Mani. He is strongly supported by co-stars Rupali Chandra and Aftab Alam. A dedicated ensemble cast adds depth and energy to the production.
The musical score is a key element of the show's emotional impact. Evocative compositions have been created by Prabha Srivastava and Pankaj Kumar. Their work provides the perfect sonic backdrop for Sahir's poetic world.
Overall artistic direction is handled by Gopal Sinha. The production is brought to the stage by producer Rajiv Pradhan. Under his banner, this play has already earned a special place. It has garnered significant appreciation and respect from serious lovers of theatre in the region.
