Turning public spaces into stages, theatre artists carry on despite pandemic

In the gloom of the pandemic and rising corruption and crimes, theatre artists are taking on the responsibility of voicing social issues through their performances.

When an artist performs with all their conviction, even a bystander is urged to stop and listen carefully. And that was what happened recently when Yubaraj Ghimire performed his poem Aslil Satta , which can be translated into ‘filthy politics’ in English, in the bustling Patan Durbar Square to show solidarity with Dr Govinda KC’s campaign.
