Nadeeka Bandara's Ha Ha Ha Ullasa Vishadha: Drama


 Hilarious poison



When I visited Sri Lanka I stayed with KK Saman Kumar and Nathika. I had recorded those experiences in my Ullasam Ullasam novel. Cini said that Nathika's part is weak in it, so I am writing it more strongly.

I have been in Delhi for twelve years and am aware of international theater trends. The theater industry is still not as developed as I thought it would be. If ten or twelve people have to come naked in my play, if there are sex scenes, all that is not allowed. Even in America it is only possible in alternative theatres. I don't know much about it. TDR TDR The Drama Review Even in America it is only possible in alternative theatres. I don't know much about it. TDR The drama review, abbreviated as The Drama Review, also lacks much detail.

But cinema is not like that. Ryu Murakami's films go beyond blue films. You may have seen the pictures of Catherine Breillat. An example is the film Romance. But that is not possible in dramas. Government agencies do not allow it. In this case Nathika's hahaha hilarity speaks volumes about the politics of the female body, which is impossible in the international theatre. Fun is fun. Vishada means mental distress, mental distress. It is a drama about transcending evil through body wash. Since the play does not have dialogues, it can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of language.

The Sri Lankan government did not ban this drama where naked female bodies sought the possibilities of their washing; Some journalists, some senior writers and government officials attended. I helped a little financially to film the play. If the cinematography is complete and the editing work is done, many people can buy the CD of this drama.
If the cinematography is complete and the editing work is done, many people can buy the CD of this drama. Rehearsals have been going on for six months. A few lakhs have been spent. Not a single penny of income. To say that Nathika's penchant for theater is the reason is to underestimate Nathika's total artistic personality.
Nathika Bandara's cinema also spoke about women's body politics in this way. But her theater was artistically many times higher than her cinema. Nathika's novels are also like this. Thus, Nathika is a complete artistic personality. But somewhere in the forest she lies unnoticed as a flowing waterfall. 

Unable to face the flame of her art, Sri Lankan Sinhalese writers say nothing about her.
Unable to face the flame of her art, Sri Lankan Sinhalese writers say nothing about her. KK Saman Kumar is the only exception. The reason is that Nathika is descended from KK. Feminine form of KK.
