Tulu Theatre & Film Artists Have Something Important to Say: Must Read
Tulu theatre and film artists have urged the State government to allow re-opening of theatres and permit theatre troupes to stage dramas as artistes are in dire straits. Senior artistes Devadas Kapikkad, Vijaya Kumar Kodialbail, Kishor D. Shetty and producer Prakash Pandeshwar said that educational institutions, commercial establishments and industries have been allowed to re-open and the transport sector is returning to normal as new COVID-19 cases have come down drastically in the coastal region.
Hence, the Dakshina Kannada district administration, MLAs and other elected representatives from the coastal belt should intervene and convince the government the need to permit re-opening of cinemas and the theatre sector as many artists entirely depend on theatre and films to lead their life. Theatre troupes did not get permission to stage dramas during prominent festivals, including Sri Krishna Janmashtami and Ganesh Chaturthi which has made it hard to eke out a living for many artistes. The government should allow drama troupes to stage shows during the coming Dasara and Deepavali festivals.
