Longest multilingual theatre marathon artists feted

HYDERABAD: Ballet and theatre group Nishumbita School of Drama felicitated and gave away certificates to the 85 artists who recently created a world record for the longest multilingual theatre marathon.

Devika Das, an actor from Nishumbita School of Drama, said “theatre has always been a powerful communication medium. It is a true reflection and has the power to bring about a change in the society. Our school has been spreading societal messages for the last 27 years by way of thought-provoking script and performances that match them.”

“The idea of theatre yagna was conceptualized during Natosav 2021. That’s when we thought of doing something big. Theatre yagna is an attempt to demonstrate that even in the technology and digital-driven world, theatre stands strong. It provides creative impetus to the performers and others involved in the show.”
