Recalling the Mother Tongue Theatre Movement

When all of us talking about “Going Local”, here we would like to recall some of such movements happened in the past, to get inspired by those true spirit.

One such movement is Mothertongue Theatre Movement 2005, which clearly said, all regional languages theatre (means “Local” theatre) has to be considered as “National Theatre”, decentralize the National cultural Institutes and more, which we must work towards.

Are we really “Going Local”?

In the name of Local, centralized, uniform, authoritarian culture is not enforced on us?, Hope, the below movement brochure gives you more clarity of thought.
