It has been a tradition to conduct food festivals monthly for various departments by the Human Assets at Radisson GRT Chennai,And it is quite a colourfull interpretation of the themes and cusines along with the entertainment to follow.A Tag of 2 time winners of the ocassion, the onous was on the shoulders of the Production team to stage up a performance that would defy odds.
Under normal circumstances the festival takes place during the end of every month,
But since the the festival of lights was dated on 17th of November it was appropriate to stage the ocassion on 16th of november,
Choosing a theme was quite easy as we had no other option than to try a theme which revolved around Diwali the first thing to flash before our minds was to depict the story of Diwali.
Hence we hit the internet in search of the origanal versions of the story which lead to festival of lights to our surprise there was more than 3 versions.
Finally we came to a conclussion that since it is for an entertainment cause why not spring a cocktail out of it.Keeping in mind we interpreted the the story as a comical one with historical characters in it.In our invitation we did mention that this is soley a perfomance and gave a guideance that its only for the reason for comical entertainment and it is not meant to hurt any emotions.
On the first instance we wanted to try a folk theme which revolved around "Bommalattam" (Puppet show)...Due to financial crunches and keepin recession in mind we opted out.
Then we choosed the other equally entertaing stage folk perfomance of "Villu Pattu"
As we are blending the epic for sheer entertainment we called it "lollupattu".
with an enthusiastic cast we tried to blend Kollywoods Music to pepper the ocssion
Our casts included
Lollu Pattukaran: Rajendar Rao
Leelai Krishnan or Raman: Aamod Sharma
Sita: "Karuppu" Ganesh
Hanuman: Kaleemuddin
Ravana alias Narakasurra: Janakiraman
This ocassion we focoused more on the entertaiment part as there is a common misconseption that the production team dose tasty menus since its natural to them.Hence we wanted to showcase our talent in staging a comical folk fare aswell.
