Swatantra Theatre is set to bring an exciting theatrical experience with its Children`s Theatre Festival on the 7th and 8th of February. This festival will showcase young talents as they bring to life the glorious dynasties of India, offering audiences a chance to relive the rich heritage and legendary figures.
The performances will transport us through time, from the Mauryan Dynasty to the Gupta Dynasty, the Maratha Empire, and the Chola Dynasty. Witness history unfolds as children take on the roles of iconic figures—Samrat Ashoka embracing Buddhism, Kalidasa and Aryabhatta shaping the golden age of the Gupta Dynasty, and the brilliance of Chanakya in statecraft.
The Chola Dynasty will come alive with the visionary leadership of Raja Raja Chola, Rajendra Chola, and Aditha Karikalan, showcasing the grandeur of the Brihadeshwara Temple.
The Maratha Empire’s glory will be relieved through the powerful portrayal of a Shivaji Maharaj weaving it into the Shahiri way of storytelling .
This festival is an extraordinary opportunity to witness the power of Theatre in educating and inspiring young minds. Join us for this spectacular historical journey, where children will captivate audiences with their performances.
Swatantra Theatre’s Children’s Theatre Program is a one-of-a-kind initiative that provides young minds with an enriching experience in theatre. Through an intensive training program, children are introduced to the depth and diversity of theatrical arts, allowing them to develop essential skills that go beyond the stage.
As part of this program, children receive comprehensive training in: Acting Techniques – Understanding emotions, expressions, and stage presence. Voice Modulation, Body Language, Writing & Creative Expression Developing storytelling and scriptwriting skills, Production Skills etc.
A key aspect of this program is that children are actively involved in all departments of theatre production, from conceptualization to execution. They not only perform on stage but also contribute creatively behind the scenes, contributing in designing sets, composing music, and crafting costumes—giving them a well-rounded understanding of theatre.
Theatre is no longer just a performance art; it has become a powerful tool for personality development. When introduced at an early age, theatre fosters confidence, creativity, teamwork, and adaptability, enabling children to face real-life challenges with resilience and a holistic perspective.
With a strong emphasis on Indian literature, our productions celebrate our rich cultural heritage, helping children connect with history, mythology, and timeless stories. Swatantra Theatre’s commitment to nurturing young talent ensures that each child not only becomes a performer but also a thinker, creator, and storyteller.
