(continued.)Theater today has great artiste,writers,technicians and so on.But what it is lacking i mean what i feel theater is missing the relevance for a common person.Specialization of theater i feel has moved it away from the common folks and their lives.Unlike the actors earlier who were also living the life they are playing in the naacha ,actors today are college graduated,learned ,imitative and artificial.The script and the dialogue don't look as coming from the intense struggle inside the mind and hearts of the people but a well thought and structured storyline.Habib Tanvir Saab i feel was one the few actors who understood this thing .His actors were mostly uneducated and village folks like Govindram Nirmalkar,but capable to portray the feelings.Though he was well learned in hindustani as well as urdu still he liked to stage his dramas, based on rural Chhattisgarh themes, in chhattisagarhi language.To admire him ,once actor Nandita Das asked him could she join his theater group?He told her that first she need to learn to speak in chhattisgarhi.
Still organisations like IPTA and its Chhattisgarh chapter,Spic-Macay and others are doing their best to promote and keeping alive the theatre in chhattisgarh.
