The Yohangza magic
The busy traffic on the roads on Friday evening did not seem to deter people from turning up with gusto to see the opening play of the The Hindu MetroPlus Theatre Fest. Though the storyline was construed a little differently from the original, the ca
st successfully captured the minds of the audience. Special mention must be made of the cast’s attempt to reach out to the Tamil section of the audience. Their interjections of a heartfelt ‘anbae…’ (love…) and the pleas for ‘thayir saadam’ by Ajumi had the audience in fits of laughter.
The surtitles (English translations of the dialogues running on a screen above the stage) ensured everyone was able to appreciate the Korean dialogues. Yet, there were a few instances where the surtitles for a couple of lines were missing, causing the audience to miss out on the flow for a few minutes. Also, the artificial smoke that was released on the stage clouded the screen at times, making it difficult to read the translations.
Friday’s performance proved that the theatre scene in the city is getting better by the day.
