Folk Theatre

Folk Theater is an oral story telling technique. It is a composite art form in India with a fusion of elements from music, dance, drama, etc.

Folk theatre in India has a rich legacy. In the ancient Vedic culture and even in Buddhist literature folk theatre first made its presence felt as an art form to illustrate the unedited realities of life. However, it is only in the medieval period folk theatre gradually became an integral part of Indian drama.
