Assamese Theatre

Daisy Bhattacharjee

Abstract: India is rich in cultural heritage with its varied traditions preserved through different forms. One of these forms is unmistakably folk art. Theatre being one of such art forms reflects our culture through its time and captures the society we live in. Theatre is a form of performing art that helps people to express themselves and teach self-knowledge while being the source of entertainment. Different forms of theatre exist in different parts of the nations, often standing on its own and sometimes even going cross-cultural. Theatre has seen numerous varieties and went through several changes in itself, influenced by societal changes. The paper is a humble attempt to study the trajectory of theatre traditions available in the state of Assam.
