In
public, Parashar Gaud is more famous for his first Garhwali film Jagwal. However, Parashar Gaud had been
a prominent Garhwali drama personality in Delhi. Parashar Gaud was backbone of
Garhwali drama world in Delhi. There is no Garhwali drama taker in Delhi after
Parashar Gaud left Delhi for Canada. Parashar was true Garhwali drama activist
as drama writer, as performer, as director and as producer.
Parashar Gaud
wrote an experimental Garhwali drama ‘Andolan’
based on separate Uttarakhand movement. It
seems that Parashar wrote this experimental drama as street drama or ‘Nukkad Natak’. There are numerous characters in the experimental and
street drama ‘Andolan’. There are numerous
plots and many sub plots in the Garhwali experimental and street drama ‘Andolan’. The experimental and street drama
‘Andolan’ deals with many important reasons
for need of separate Uttarakhand state. There are contemporary incidents as March in
Delhi by movement activist, death of Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali, interview of
a reporter with Chandra sing Garhwali, comments about Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna,
election and election slogans, opportunist political and social leaders in
Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and in Uttarakhand and many more well known incidents
in this experimental and street Garhwali drama ‘Andolan’.
Street dramas are very good means of
communication for every community. There was vacuum for street dramas in
Garhwali drama world. Parashar Gaud fulfils the gap by providing experimental
and street drama ‘Andolan’.
The main characteristics
of a street drama are that it should have a theme for the social cause and it
should be in regional language only.
The drama ‘Andolan’ is an experimental drama for Garhwali language in the
sense that it is totally non-conventional in the form and style. Parashar Gaud
used the style of Jamure and Ustad style as the folk dramatists perform in the
streets of in urban or rural areas.
In an interview with
this writer, Parashar gaud states that the experimental and street Garhwali drama
‘Andolan’ is tribute to experimental
theatre writers Arun kakde, Richard Maxwell, Satya Dev Dube, Antonin Artaud, Rajendra
Dhashmana, Carmelo Bene, Dinesh Thakur, Bertolt Brecht, Vijay Mehta, Girish
Karnad, Dario Fo, Luigi Pirandello, Vijay Tendulkar, Samuel Becket,Arvind
Deshpande, Isabelle Junot , Sulbha
Deshpane, Young Jeen Le, Shankar Shesh, C.P.Deshpande , Meng Jinghui , and
other playwrights of experimental dramas.
