The Folk theatre festival!

There was a folk theatre festival at Sri Ram centre ,new delhi from 25th to the 27th of September,2006 that showcased participants from Uttar Pradesh,Uttaranchal and Rajasthan. tha production were fabulous and not only that the highlighted the their language ,the tradition of their performing art ,but also the the kind of cultural and historical tradition they have...at times the pieces performed might seem to be very frivolous to the So called 'Elite' Theatre going Socially Active Delhites,but the ethnicity and the originality of the concepts baffle us... the productions....'ajuba bafaul','bhakt puranmal'and 'andheri nagari' are worth mentioning ..they cater to the food for some new... I personally appreciate the traditional songs sung in the Rajasthani production..that involved..singing at high 'scale'..thay termed it 'khayal'...this type of festivals must continue in the future,sothat the the audience here at Delhi do get taste of more organic kind of theatre that comes straight out of heart.
