साईराम एन्टरटेन्मेंट प्रस्तुत डॉ सुधीर निकम दिग्दर्शित ‘वारी व्हाया बारी ‘ ह्या नव्या मराठी नाट्याप्रयोगाचा शुभारंभ नुकताच पुणे येथील बालगंधर्व रंगमंदिरात झाला महाराष्ट्राची परंपरा आणि संस्कृती जपणारा विषय ह्या नाटकानिमित्ताने हाताळण्यात आला आहे .
अंशुमन विचारे, गायत्री चिघळीकर, विनिता संचेती व किशोर चौगुले ह्यांच्या यात मुख्य भूमिका आहेत. शेकडो वर्षांची परंपरा असलेला पालखी सोहळा व महाराष्ट्राची सांस्कृतिक ओळख असलेली लावणी या दोन्ही गोष्टींचा सुरेख संगम साधतानाच दिग्दर्शकाने वारकऱ्यांचे प्रश्न व अडचणी उत्कृष्टपणे मांडल्या आहेत. वारकरी संप्रदाय सहिष्णू असून राष्ट्रीय समानतेचा व बंधूभावांचा संदेश वारकरी देतात. आगामी काळात मराठवाड्यासह राज्यभरात या नाटकाचे प्रयोग होणार असल्याचे निर्मात्यां कडून कळाले.

‘वर खाली दोन पाय’ या दीर्घांकाचे नाट्यवाचन
मराठी रंगभूमीवर नाटकाचा पुढचा भाग लिहण्याची मोठी परंपरा आहे, पण त्या दरम्यान काय घडले असेल याचा स्वतंत्र नाट्यकृती म्हणून विचार करण्याचा प्रयत्न अपवादाने झाला आहे. हा वेगळा प्रयत्न ठरवून घडावा आणि नवे काही हाती लागावे म्हणून ‘अस्तित्व ‘ या प्रयोगशील नाट्यसंस्थेने ‘त्या दरम्यान ‘ हा उपक्रम हाती घेतला आहे. या नव्या लेखन प्रयोगातली पहिली संहिता लिहली आहे, ती युवा नाट्यलेखक हृषीकेश कोळी याने. त्याने जयवंत दळवी यांच्या ‘पुरुष ‘ नाटकावर आधारित त्या दरम्यान ‘वर खाली दोन पाय ‘ या दीर्घांकाच्या रूपाने शब्दबद्ध केले आहे. गुलाबराव, अंबिका, सिद्धार्थ या अजरामर झालेल्या पुरुष मधल्या पात्रांच्या व्यक्त होण्याच्या त्या दरम्यान लेखक नेमके काय मांडणार याबद्दल नाट्य वर्तुळात विशेष उत्सुकता आहे.
उद्या रविवारी २८ फेब्रुवारीला संध्याकाळी सहा वाजता कुकुज क्लब,पाली हिल,कँडीज कॅफे जवळ,वांद्रे (पश्चिम). इथे या दीर्घांकाचे नाट्यवाचन होणार आहे. या कार्यक्रमासाठी प्रवेश विनामुल्य आहे. येत्या वर्षभरात दर महिन्यास एक या प्रमाणे किमान बारा नव्या संहितांचे सादरीकरण खारदांडा इथल्या ‘हाईव्ह ‘ सांस्कृतिक केंद्राच्या सहयोगा करण्यात येणार आहेत.
