Arunachal Pradesh on the Theatre Map of India
Ravindra Tripathy's Daily Diary
No doubt, the Hindi language has many local dialects. But have you ever
heard of Arunachali Hindi? Yes, it exists. You want to know where it is? It
is in Arunachal Pradesh of course. But why is it Arunachali Hindi, it is
difficult to say because it is just like standard *khariboli*chaste Hindi.
But whatever it is, it was a nice experience to watch the play and listen to
the language.* <http://www.stagebuzz.info/2010/December/21st_CEC_Video_Competition.htm>Read

Those People
*
Those were the people who
with tiny boxes filled with fine sugar
would go in search of anthills
They would scatter seeds on terraces
for birds to feed on.

Snake Love & Sexuality fromJapan
Ravindra Tripathy's Daily Diary
There are a lot of stories in Indian mythology and folklores where you find
the snake or the serpent as sexual motif. Some modern plays are also based
upon it. For example Girish Karnad's play Nagmandala. The snake as sexual
motif is not limited only to India. In 13th bharat rang mahotsav, the
Japanese play *Ugetsu Monogatari*(directed by *Madoka okada)* also presents
the snake as a charmer and lover of human being*.** <http://www.stagebuzz.info/2010/December/21st_CEC_Video_Competition.htm>Read

*Begam ka Takiya** from India or Muare from Argentina?*
Ravindra Tripathy's Daily Diary
Tuesday the 11th Jan was not as cold as the previous days. The sun was in
the sky and the earth was having a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the
food hub (In 13th Bharat Rang Mahotsav) was a little bit warmer. Theatre
fans and enthusiasts were talking about the plays being staged in different
auditoriums. The question before me was whether to see *`Muare', *an
Argentinean play or*`Begam Ka Takiya'*, a Hindi play Read More...<http://www.stagebuzz.info/2011/January/Muare.htm>
A political play from Bolivia
Ravindra Tripathy's Daily Diary
We, in India, are familiar with South American writers like Gabriel Garcia
Marquez, Mario Vargas llyosa and others. But we know very little about
theatre of Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and other Latin- American countries.
Fortunately, in 13th Bharat Rang Mahotsav there are some plays from these
countries which show how lively the theatre scene is there.*Read More...<http://www.stagebuzz.info/2011/January/En%20un%20sol%20Amarillo.htm>

Dilemma of Chau
To Be or Not To Be Folk
* *
To categorize and delineate any dramatic performance as being folk,
traditional or modern would be simply dispensing them off that can endanger
our readings and interpretations for it. All dramatic performances display
set codes and conventions such as costumes, makeup, text, use of diction
prose or poetry and evolved choreography, movement or premeditated action. Gouri
Nilakantan's attempt in this thesis is to look at *Chhau* as one such
dramatic genre that goes beyond such simplistic compartmentalization. Read

*The Park*
Ravindra Tripathy's Daily Diary
There are three benches in *'The Park'*, so there should be no problem for
separate and independent spaces for them. But the problem starts when all
of them want a particular bench for themselves. No one wants to leave his
preferred bench. They argue and fight over their `rights'. The play starts
as a comedy but slowly and gradually it becomes serious. Read More...<http://www.stagebuzz.info/2011/January/The_Park.htm>
