Cultural Intervention through Theatre: Case Study of a Play on Female Infanticide/Foeticide

Abstract

IT is indeed a tall claim, almost an impossible task - to set in motion the immobile-to create spectators who would continue to perform. In order to even attempt it, we need to shed our own fond beliefs of knowing things better, our urge to impart information, the craving to grant advice and all such superiorities of consciousness and commitment. To win over confidence, to create a congenial atmosphere of sharing, to help vent our frustrations and disbelief's and to evolve solutions that are acceptable were the hopes of 'Pacha Mannu' (Green Earth).
