Main Amrita by Dr Dimple Kaur

Main Amrita
Kuch Kahi Kuch Ankahi
By Dr Dimple Kaur

Creating a confluence of Amrita Pritam’s poems focusing on the true meaning of living for women in our society, Dimple Kaur has created a production called Main Amrita – Kuch Kahi Kuch Ankahi. In Amrita’s poetry we can see the dreams and longing for love, which are beyond the realms of time and society. The practical reality of the dreams and marriage has been beautifully captured in the poem Kuvanri (The Virgin) and is interpreted by the dancer in today’s manifestations of domestic abuse and marital rapes. The psychological numbness and quietness is portrayed in the poem titled Chup, followed by Ae Mere Dost- Mere Ajnabi which depicts hopefulness and yet the transitory nature of love and relationships. The cycle of love and pain continues as the longing intensifies leading us to the final recitation about the undying spirit of the women in “Main tenu fir milangi”. Domestic violence in multiple forms is still prevalent in the Indian society and across the world both overtly and through other means. Liberation of thoughts is the first step towards true sense of freedom and living, devoid of any violence brimming with life and its celebrations.
