Manchkrit – Street Play Competition

Nukad Natak or street plays have a rich heritage as goes back to the Grecko-Roman Era cultivating geniuses over the period like Socrates and Shakespeare.

Street Plays are an effective way to deliver ideas, stories, and agendas to a limited audience and get instant feedback on the art form.

They not only act as an essential exercise for theater actors but also claim to discover hidden talents. It was a source of providing information to people when there were no sources of providing information like television, radio etc. Nowadays, nukkadnatak is used to convey a message to the crowd watching it. Nukkad Natak is considered to be the rawest form of acting, because one does not have a microphone or loud speakers.

BVPCSI organized the Manchkrit Challenge inviting theater groups and clubs to awe the crowd with their brilliant performances.
