The play was written to inspire hope and flexibility among people along with Parkinson’s and their families.

Estimated 12 million people worldwide live with Parkinson’s, and are expected to double cases within the next two decades.

Dubai -based classical dancer and founder of the movement Mantra Vonita Singh has been a dedicated lawyer of Parkins’ awareness in West Asia and India for 12 years.

“At its core, whereas Still dance Parkinson highlighted, it is eventually a story about the family – one that feels familiar to all of us. This follows his life, happiness and of course, his difficulties, “Dubai -based award -winning writer and director says Sanjeev Dixit, who is the founder of Third Half Theater.

This production is based on the real-life story of Vonita’s family-he lost his father from Parkinson in 2009 and established a platform movement mantra, a platform that taps into the medical capacity of a mindful movement. “The drama is about the next door, which has been swept away in a tsunami of events to find deeper purpose only on the other coast. Through dance, drama, laughter and tears, it is alert to the audience for many families and carers for cardinal mistakes and is alerted for possible,” Vonita says.

The play has depicted the challenges of living with Parkinson’s

While the original script is similar to the originally written in 2019, director Sanjeev added a decisive visual visual during his India’s premiere last year – it delays the emotional upheaval of the family.

The play is a stellar cast in the play, including Vivek Raj Tandon, Mona Ambegaonkar, Sareen Saif, Nakul Bhalla, Ama Mehta, Bhumika Mane, Abhimanu Gupta and Avenav Mukherjee. Production for life is Lana Kumar Sharma and the dance troupe Kathak Rockers, who originally mixes Indian classical and contemporary dances to describe the challenges with Parkinson’s. Kumar said, “It has been a privilege to explain the dance as a medium for treatment, and I am excited to use this art form to raise awareness within the community.”

In fact, the main character in the play is a trained Kathak dancer. Says Sanjeev, “Even though the themes of the play are not related to that aspect of his life, indicate dance forms and a lot of its thought process. We have used it as a motif to express the feelings of the characters,” says Sanjeev. In addition, a thumri is specifically sung for the show, and poems have presented the major moments in the play as music. “People with Parkinsons benefit greatly from physical activity, mental stimulation and social engagement – three elements that dance naturally. Dance requires a mindful movement, which anyone needs to be a witness with the needs of Parkinson’s, when their automated motor functions are compromised,” Vonita says.

The dance will still be staged at Little Theater Group on 11 April, Excellessier American School, Gurugram on 12 April and on 13 April at Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Center.
