GUWAHATI, Dec 8: The 13th edition of the ‘Under the Sal Tree’ theatre festival will start on December 15 for three days at Badungduppa Kalakendra at Rampur in Goalpara district. This unique theatre festival is held every year in the middle of the Sal tree plantation. It is organised completely under natural settings – with no artificial devices, not even a microphone to enhance the voice of the actors. The organisers used only bamboo and straw to build the stage and the seating arrangements for the spectators. Seven plays will be staged in the three-day festival this year. One play is from Sri Lanka while the rest are from different parts of India.
“We are thrilled to bring back the next edition of the ‘Under the Sal Tree’ theatre festival. The love and affection given to us by the theatre lovers of the region made us believe that we can continue presenting some of the best plays in the lap of nature. Join us as we continue the revolution started by our founder Sukracharjya Rabha,” said managing director Madan Rabha.
