Theatre in Kozhikode to come alive with short play festival
The Hindu
Fete to be held at Town Hall on Dec 3 and 4
Kozhikode is known for its theatre culture too and now “Theatre Culture” is taking the first step to wake up Kozhikode’s theatre circuit from its one-and-a-half-year-long slumber in the wake of COVID-19.
“Theatre Culture”, a recently formed collective of theatre groups in the district, is organising “Shanthanorma”, a two-day festival of short plays in the city in December as its first venture. The festival named after late theatre and film director A.Shanthakumar, will be held at Kozhikode Town Hall on December 3 and 4.
“Its been a long time since most of us were on a stage. We realised that we ourselves have to do something to bring us out of this phase”, said Baiju Merikunnu, chairman of the organising committee.
