To spread mass awareness about the Freedom Struggle and the freedom fighters, a theatre festival ‘Azad Bansuri Children’s Theatre Festival 2017 (Bal Natya Samaroh)’ would begin from Monday at Shaheed Bhavan Auditorium.
Being organized by Directorate of Swaraj Sansthan, Madhya Pradesh the festival would continue till Thursday.
It is to be noted that this is the sixth year of Azad Bansuri and this time the fest is based on freedom fighters. To prepare the students, the Directorate of Swaraj Sansthan organized a month long workshop for the children of the city to spread awareness about the freedom fighters and martyrs of the country. The workshop commenced in the last month where children from various schools participated.
Noticeably, as many as 200 children from various schools of the city have participated in the theatre festival. Interestingly, out of these 200 children, many participants never faced the world of theatre and it will be an enthralling experience for them to be a part of the theatre fest. Besides, two plays would be staged each day of the Azad Bansuri Children Theatre Festival 2015.
The fest will have a kick start on Monday with the plays ‘Jung-e-Azadi’ directed by KG Trivedi and on the same day play ‘Mantra’ directed by Rachna Mishra will be staged. On Tuesday Agast Kranti by Prem Gupta will be staged. On Wednesday Rabia Begum will be performed. The festival will have a closure with Balak Birbal directed by Shobha Chhatterjee.
Interestingly, till now more than 60 plays have been stage at fest.
