ವಚನ, ಗಾನ, ಕುಂಚ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮವು ವಚನ ಕಾವ್ಯದ ಪುರಾತನ ಜ್ಞಾನ, ಸಂಗೀತದ ಭಾವನಾತ್ಮಕ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸಜೀವ ಕಲೆಯ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ರೇಖೆಗಳನ್ನು ಒಗ್ಗೂಡಿಸುವ ಬಹು ಕಲೆಗಳ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನವಾಗಿದೆ.
ಡಾ. ಜಯದೇವಿ ಜಂಗಮಶೆಟ್ಟಿ ಅವರು ವಚನಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ, ಡಾ. ವಿಜಯ ಎಸ್. ಹಗರಗುಂದಗಿ ಅವರ ಕೈಗಳು ಕಾಗದದ ಮೇಲೆ ನೃತ್ಯಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ, ಬಣ್ಣಗಳ ಮತ್ತು ಶಾಯಿ ಮೇಳೈಸಿರುವ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳು ಕಾವ್ಯದ ತತ್ತ್ವವನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದಿಡುವಂತೆ ರಚಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಸಂಗೀತ ಮತ್ತು ಕಲೆಗೆ ಡಾ. ಬಸವರಾಜ್ ಸಬರದ ಅವರ ವಿವರಣೆ ಜೊತೆಯಾದಾಗ, ಇವುಗಳ ಪುರಾತನ ಪದ್ಯಗಳ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಕ ಮಹತ್ವವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮವು ಮುಂದುವರಿದಂತೆ, ಕಲಾ ರೂಪಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ಗಡಿಗಳು ಮಸುಕಾಗುತ್ತವೆ ಮತ್ತು ವಚನಗಳ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ನಾವೀನ್ಯತಯುತ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನದ ಮೂಲಕ, ತ್ರಯರು ಶ್ರೋತೃಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಪರಿವರ್ತನಾ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸಲು ಮತ್ತು ಹೊಸ ಅರ್ಥ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಂಪರ್ಕದ ಆಯಾಮಗಳನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಆಹ್ವಾನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
Vachana, Gaana, Kuncha Karyakrama is a multidisciplinary presentation that weaves together the ancient wisdom of Vachana poetry, the emotive power of music, and the evocative strokes of live art.
As Dr. Jayadevi Jangamashetty renders the Vachanas, Dr. Vijay S Hagaragundagi hands dance across the paper, conjuring vivid charcoal and ink interpretations that capture the essence of the poems. The music and art will be accompanied by Dr. Basavaraj Sabarad’s commentary which will provide a rich tapestry of context, driving home the historical and cultural significance of these ancient verses.
As the performance unfolds, the boundaries between art forms blur and the beauty of the Vachanas shines through. Through this innovative presentation, the trio invites the audience to experience the transformative power of art and literature, and to discover new dimensions of meaning and connection.
