It's hard to imagine Indu Dharmasena ever having to struggle with something as mundane as writer's block. Forty-two plays down the road, he is counted amongst Sri Lanka's most prolific, high profile playwrights, actors and directors. Despite this, Indu appears to not take anything very seriously, and this includes his own reputation – "I think of myself as an entertainer," he says – and therein lies the key to his appeal.
I actually bought this DVD. Now that's saying a lot as to how much I wanted to watch it eh? Provoked is based on the true story of Kiranjit Ahluwalia, whose autobiographical book Circle of Light forms the basis of this movie. However, its textbook delivery style resulted in a film that's quite plain, despite its powerful potential in examining domestic violence against women.
A creative mix of various forms of dance will be showcased in an upcoming production, sure to have audiences entertained and intrigued at the same time. Fluttering Idols, will be performed at the Elphinstone Hall, Maradana, on Saturday, December 8, at 6.30pm. With an interesting line up consisting of Russian ballet, as well as ballroom dancing, the production is presented by the Steps Ballet and Ballroom Dancing Theatre.
