Swara, in collaboration with Dramatic Action presents - A dramatized musical that exposes an abstract link between reality and pretense where inverted emotions and personalities will be depicted in the vibrant setting of a circus.
‘Pretend’ unveils the inner conflicts one would have to encounter when they are forced to pretend to be someone else, when in reality, beyond the drapes of the society they are consciously someone utterly different from the way they pose on the stage of life.
The cast is adorned by a variety of circus characters including the circus master and mistress, clowns, magicians, mimes, gypsies, acrobats who would all be played by a group of young individuals, gleaming with their diverse talents in both singing and dancing.
This project is done with the intention of raising funds for the charity organization, “Samata Sarana” (Help for All). It is a place of refuge where focus is centered on human needs and human beings, where race, religion and ethnicity fade into insignificance. It carries out multi-faceted services to the poorest of the poor in the slums of Colombo North, focusing on the family unit of the slums.
Samata Sarana is actively involved in conducting a Crèche for babies of working mothers; a pre-school and a school for 400 Dropouts; a Day Care Centre for Elders; a Medical Clinic; and a well organized Nutrition Programme providing wholesome meals. Besides this there are other programmes for childhood development, vocational training etc.
Be prepared to invigorate your imagination on December 12 at 7pm at the Bishop’s College Auditorium and be enchanted by the mystical divulgence of pretence and reality, with songs varying from “21 Guns”, “Masquerade” and “Pokerface”, let us entice you into mystery!
