Gargee Roy chowdhury is a gifted actor whose foundations were laid on the stage. The thrill of performing before a live audience slowly faded away like a distant searchlight as she rose head and shoulders above others on the celluloid. But somewhere deep down in the dark dungeons of the heart the desire to rise again on the stage remained.
All of that came together after 8 years as she makes a come back on the stage with her hour long monologue RANGINI.
Rangini is a tale of a struggling performer. In this journey Rangini learns and unlearns lessons on life, love and work and is portrayed by the very talented Gargee through a series of characters that she continuously moulds into during this odyssey in search of the true meaning of life.
The plot blossoms with a series of songs ranging from Bengali folk to modern (ADHUNIK) music and time tested European tunes also.The script adds narration in terms of poetry and dramatic delight.
Rangini narrates her journey from a sub-urban setting to a metro, betrayed in love and left to fend for her. However, her undying spirit urges her to fight alone as she struggles to find her foot as a singer and actor while she dares to accept the challenge of single motherhood. Rangini’s monologue with her unborn child makes her a woman of substance.
Embedded in a simple form and narrative, the presentation by Gargee is vibrant and a proof of her skill sets that leads to a sense of sublime. A composition of meaningful content aided by simple stage ornamentation, live music and illuminate on creates a different dimension on the stage.
