Delhi calling for Assam's iconic mobile theatres

New Delhi, Apr 25 (PTI) What connects Titanic, Lady Diana, Ramayana and Anaconda?

These are themes of some plays enacted by the popular and technically-developed mobile theatres of Assam over the years, mostly in remote villages.

And now Delhiites will have a rare opportunity to watch three signature productions of renowned group Kohinoor during a four-day extravaganza at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA) starting today.

At the invitation of the National School of Drama (NSD), Kohinoor group travelled nearly 2,000 km with three truckloads of equipment and over 115 artistes for staging "Assemat Jar Heral Seema" (When the Borders Lost in Infinity) "O'n Moi Munnaye Koisu" (This is Munna Speaking) and "Sheetare Semeka Rati" (A Chilly Winter Night).

Besides, some scenes of its famous play "Titanic" will also be shown.

Producer Ratan Lahkar is excited about the prospect of performing outside Assam for the first time.
