Summary: India's theatre is ages old. Despite Bharat's clear concept of the stage craft, the ancient Sanskrit theatre inevitably reached its phase of decadence. During the changing and difficult historic times, it was the common man who preserved India's theatre -for religious rituals or for entertainment or for both, Sometime with a social or political purpose, too. There is Yakshagana in Karnataka, Ramleela in the north, Jatra in Bengal, Krishnattam in Kerala, Tamasha in Maharashtra, et al. This film, while tracing India's theatrical traditions, also presents various experiments that are carried out in various parts of the country by the contemporary theatre artistes.
