Nurturing a Dying Art

Theatre director M Sayeed Alam revives his play Pollution Hazir Ho with the touch of street magicians, bahurupiyas and snake charmers.

In the play, Shishanath Sapera is part of the troupe that lends the background score.


A court room proceeding is on where river Yamuna testifies against Pollution. So does Ganga. The case is helmed by a judge, an actor who is a street magician in real life. A lawyer asks Yamuna what she does for a living. Puppeteer Dipali Bhatt from Kathputli Colony, who plays the part, in a south Delhi girl’s accent says she flows, and her relationship with Pollution has been much like that of Raj Kapoor and Nargis, Laila-Majnu and Deepika Padukone and “Ranbir… sorry, Ranveer Singh”. Next, Taj Mahal makes an entry and accuses Pollution of raiding the white walls of the epitome of love.
