Vachikam: Dariyalal a unique stage experience for Amdavadis

For nothing, they say the stage can create an experience that will stay with you for a life time. 'Vachikam' means the dramatic reading. As per the ‘Natyashastra’, there are four kinds of ‘Abhinay’ (acting techniques) an actor must master and Vachikam is one of them. Gunwantray Acharya's Dariyalal adapted and directed by

Chintan Pandya

gave Amdavadis a new, exciting experience of story-telling when

Vachikam: Dariyalal

was staged at Natarani recently. Fanatika and TransIndus Foundation, in association with Natarani brought this unique stage experience to Amdavadis recently. “Dariyalal” is a story that has human emotions and values, adventures and historical facts blended with fiction. It has an exotic set up of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean which offers to be the melting pot of the cultures of India, Arabia, Africa and Europe during the colonial period. The unique way of narration took story-telling to a new level and was highly engrossing for Amdavadis.
