THODU NAATAK THODAA GEETO Story :
Ace thespian Saumya Joshi pays homage to the great musical tradition in Gujarati theatre through a curated montage of songs from her productions over the years.
Music (Geeto) and theatre (Naatak) cherish an age-old romance, of giving each other a voice and often finishing each other’s sentences... quite literally. This is especially true of Gujarati theatre, and who knows it better than Saumya Joshi? With direction, music, and lyrics by the ace thespian, ‘Thodu Naatak Thodaa Geeto’ highlights the timeless connection between music and theatre, through an interweaving of the two beautiful art forms as seen through Joshi’s earlier body of work such as ‘Dost Chokkas Ahin Nagar Vasatu Hatun’, ‘Suraj Vaali Raat’, ‘Maare Emne Gamvun Chhe’ and others. The special presentation is an amalgamation of all the songs that were an integral part of Joshi’s signature musical productions over the years - for fans and newcomers alike, it is a sensory delight to experience them in tandem! The showcase is rendered extra-evocative by the stirring vocals of power duo Mousam & Malka, and percussion by Jigar Shah. Laced with dramatic commentary along the lines of Vaachikam, it makes for an unforgettable experience.
