Assam, one of the seven sisters in the Northeastern part of India, bears a historical significance when it comes to our famous Kamakhya Temple, our forever green tea plantations and for our River Brahmaputra. Assam is also known for their sericulture and also for the rich Assamese tradition of age-old folk music, mobile theatre, our ethnic pottery makes of brass and one of the recognized Classical Dance forms in India “Xatriya”.
Mobile Theatre (As: ভ্ৰাম্যমাণ থিয়েটাৰ), is a form of popular theatre exclusive to Assam. Unlike Street plays, Mobile Theatre groups travel from place to place with their cast, singers, musicians, dancers and crew, often carrying tents and seating with them.
But everything has taken a turn for the worse for these artistes and crews since the COVID-19 pandemic hit. They have not just lost their source of income, due to cancellation of their shows most of them started picking up daily labor jobs in different forms to live their life.
In a minimalistic effort to find some solace for them, an effort has been made to make their life a little easier. We need your help and cooperation as an esteemed community member to make our effort to help these ‘upholders of our society’ a success.
Join our 2021 global initiative to provide financial relief to mobile theatre artistes and crews of Assam. Due to prevalent pandemic many of them are in need of financial and moral support. Let's keep Mobile Theatre of Assam alive!!
A show of solidarity by the stars for the stars-in-making
Let’s get together again a second time for virtual show to fundraise for Mobile Theater Industry of Assam impacted due to COVID-19. We appreciate the solidarity and compassion by the star musician and Theater personality of Assam for the unsung and unheard of local theater technicians of Assam in their times of economic distress due to COVID-19 pandemic. The star performers for this event have given up any remuneration for this event usually they charge for any other events due to the noble intention of this event. We thank all our star performers of this event for their philanthropic efforts to make this event possible. A show packed with live performances from the stalwarts of Assamese and including few involved now in Bollywood industry is sure to mesmerize your weekend. Grab your seats fast by joining the zoom event for a nominal donation of $45 at the likes of your home. Your attendance could help a few families tide through this a little better and also keep you and yours enthralled at the same time. Looking forward for all of your’s participation.
