Slide Show
During
the spring of 2003, a Kachahari (street forum) theatre group
performed in remote villages in the western part of Nepal. The
following slide show pictures are from one of the plays that were
performed during this tour, telling the story of a dowry conflict.
According to the concept of forum theatre, the actors will only
present the first part of a play which somehow embodies a conflict
or a theme of relevance to the audience. At any given moment, the
play master – the so called Joker – may intervene and stop the
performance, asking the spectators for their opinion on how to
continue. In ever which way the audience wants the story to
proceed, the actors will play it. Various suggestions and their
consequences are being explored and solutions may be found. In
this way, the spectators are made to reflect on the themes of the
play and are turned into active participants – with the ultimate
aim to empower them to become equally reflective and active actors
in their own lives.
