Alchemy kids took centre stage to drive home environmental issues
|
The talent of kids came to the fore in "Where are we heading to?" staged by The Alchemy Kids Theatre Club, in association with Alchemy Theatres, recently at the Top Storey, Alliance Francaise.
Nineteen children in the age group 3 to 12 participated in the theatre production where the sets, costume, lighting and dialogue reflected the contemporary flavour. As is Alchemy's culture, it was an original script, focussing on a social theme.
The play started with a birthday party, with modern-day trappings - event managers, MCs and a journalist. While the first half was packed with humour as each character entered the party, the second half smoothly shifted to an innovative chat show where a number of points relating to environment and human life were discussed. The play concluded driving home the fact that such informative chat sessions take place quite frequently in society - at weddings, parties, morning walks, school, college and office canteens. It's only when these ideas translate into positive action does society benefit. In a way, the experience sensitised children to societal and environmental issues. The play was conceptualised, scripted and directed by Vijay Viswanathan of Alchemy Theatres.
