Triple revolving stage –

Curiosity made me to go for this last show as announced, as I wanted to know how triple stage revolving works

The background you see is a Road scene ‘Poddo’ but is made up of 3 separate parts, each part is again is of  3-4 flaps/folders as can be seen..
See arrows marked. The 3 stages  rapidly revolve round to form one part as in the pic.
e.g. for a household scene, it will revolve to its main drama poddo and again for songs or road scene it will revert back to this scene. Watch video in the end

Actually, in this case, it is not really a revolving stage but revolving podde or scenes

 
Single revolving stage (almost entre stage) I ever saw was back in early 80s I think in Rosario Rodrigues Tiatr  Uzvadd Poloilo or Naum Naslolo.  Before that in early 70s I think there was one tiatr Doloroz or Seza Pai. But it had the main road scene poddo for cantaram etc

The difference between then and now,  is the speed, earlier it took upto a minute but now few seconds say about 8 seconds. Earlier being manual (pushing) and now mechanical.

 

Another thing I noted, stage spot for singers and the main play actors is the same i.e. singers traditionally sang closer to the band (frontal part of the stage) but with this, it was about 2-3 metres away from the front stage as there were no other ‘poddes’ .

It was like having only two ‘podde’. viz the road scene for Cantaram, comedy etc and the main household ‘poddo’.  I guess it can have more than one household poddes by means of quickly detaching/attaching backstage

 One more show or Farewell show on 27^th Sept Margao 3.30pm
