My dear Friends,
I am just back from the Anti Communal Campaign in Orissa.
The Dalits and Tribals were bold enough to stage the Street Theatre from 6-16 December in Orissa. It attracted thousands of people all over Orissa. Twice Police tried to stop it but the players and the audience went ahead with it. Once the RSS wanted to stop the play but the Audience protected the Actors.
The name of the play is Idam Natyam Shashtram - THIS IS THE SCIENCE OF DRAMA.
It is written in the backdround of the Indian Tradition. It is very powerful play. The message of the play is: ‘Please do not be fundamentaliostic and Communalisatic but LIBERAL and open to all traditions. Then we become great. It is a lesson for all fundamentalism in different religions.’
The script was written and directed by Shankar Mahananda. CD of the play is available. Please contact Shankar. It is in ORIYA. His mobile number is: 09937158847.
