Theater was so rare that when he once walked into Ravindra Manch and enquired about how to perform plays there, he was told that the venue was an office, not a theatre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t even know where to go if I wanted to act or even watch a play,\u201d Irrfan Khan who hails from Jaipur said while releasing the brochure of Jairangam, also known as Jaipur Theatre Festival \u2013 2016. Chief minister Vasundhara Raje inaugurated the festival on Monday. The first play \u2018Bechari Amrita\u2019 will be performed at 11 am.<\/p>\n<p>Irrfan Khan expressed disappointment over the fact that play writers are not paid properly for their work. \u201cThis is primarily the reason that we don\u2019t find great play writers these days. No one wants to write because you can\u2019t feed your family by writing plays,\u201d said Khan adding that play writers should be paid more than actors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn states like West Bengal, Gujarat and Maharashtra, theatre is an integral part of culture. Theatre is one of the greatest mediums to express feelings and emotions,\u201d said Khan.<\/p>\n<p>The week-long theater festival will be organized at the city\u2019s prominent theater venues including Jawahar Kala Kendra and Birla Auditorium and feature plays by some of the most famous theatre personalities in India.<\/p>\n<p>According to the organizers, the festival will provide a great experience to theatre lovers.\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to get swept up in an artistic force. Jairangam is a journey and a celebration. It will be an enriching theatre experience brought alive by some finest talents,\u201d the organizers claimed.<\/p>\n<p>The plays will include Paresh Rawal\u2019s \u2018Krishan v\/s Kanhaiyaa\u2019 which highlights the transformation of a man from an atheist to a person who spreads the true meaning of prayer and religion. Makrand Desh Pandey\u2019s\u00a0 \u2018Maa in Transit\u2019 will also be one of the prominent plays. It deals with how a son tries to prolong the delay of his mother\u2019s last rights so that he could spend more time with her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaipur: Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan said when he was a teenager; theatre was not as popular in Jaipur as it is today.
