In the words of Willem Dafoe,” Great theatre is about challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about the world we aspire to.”
AAGAAZ YOUTH CLUB on 2nd march decided to use this power of theatre to awaken the people of Dehradun against various environmental issues the city is facing.
The Aagaaz Youth Club put up an engaging and impactful nukkad natak titled “द से दिल्ली, द से दहशत, द से देहरादून” at Centrio Mall, in front of over 100 concerned individuals who were focused on the future living conditions of Dehradun. The performance aimed to raise awareness about the environmental degradation Dehradun is currently facing, drawing a parallel with the worsening conditions of Delhi. Through a mix of humor, wit and powerful drama the actors illustrated how Dehradun, once renowned for its lush greenery and clean environment, is now seeing that very greenery replaced with painted murals on walls rather than thriving nature in its surroundings. The stark contrast between the two cities served as a warning to the people of Dehradun, showing what could happen if the current trends continued.
