what is the summary of kingdom of cards ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Kingdom of Cards is a charming tale of a Prince on an adventure to a land inhabited by cards. Director Ranjita Chakravorty’s passion shines through as this whirlwind musical explores the dichotomy of contemporary society. Desperate for adventure, a bold-mannered prince decides to set out for parts unknown and ends up somewhere else: a nation filled with walking, talking cards, all dead to the world and insistent on adhering to their many rules and laws. These rules almost immediately start to fall apart under the prince’s skeptical scrutiny, and soon, the Cards are dressing like humans, dancing and singing, and even falling in love while their whole world changes around them.

In Tagore’s musical the King of the Cards is not a sinister megalomaniac but is somewhat bewildered and unsure of himself at times and, like his subjects, they both have been inured to mindlessly adhere to the rules. Ultimately of course these cards transform into the human beings they always were by simply allowing their innate desires to overcome the confines of their rules. Interestingly enough the change is brought about by the women in the kingdom. Tagore, the early feminist always recognized the subjugation of women and inequality they faced. Tagore’s’ music is brought alive through Siddhartha Chattopadhyay’s brilliant contemporary interpretation and the fluid imagery of the dance ensemble, ably choreographed by the Maestro Sanjib Bhattacharya.Be it fascism through Tagore’s music, the essence of feminism through Sita’s soulful chants, the rise of Bollywood through the lens of Goan jazz, sex trafficking against the backdrop of Hindustani classical, or the adventures of a 10-year-old detective through contemporary world music, every theme EnActe explores resonates with music.
