Kapan, 5 September

On 4 September, the group organized six shows of the drama 'KAHILE BANLAA ?' (When will it be?). The play was shown at Basantapur, Ratnapark, Chabahil, Gaushala, Jayabageshwori, and pashupati on the same date.
As said by Sanjita Parajuli of ACHEL Group, the drama links contemporary political situation of the nation with problems of a layman's family and its children. "No kerosene in the market, no sugar, neither petrol. Even if you can get them, the prices are on the sky. No water. No mobile connection. In two years of CA election, no constitution is made. They can't elect a PM in three months. Children are kidnapped from schools. They can't go to school due to Nepal Bandh and Chakka Jaam. This is what we have shown", says Ajit Aryal, director of the play.
The drama was directed by Ajit Aryal. The major performers were Samjhana Adhikari, Anish rai, Sanjita Parajuli and Aryal himself.
Abhinaya dwara Chetana ka Lahar haru- ACHEL (Waves of Awareness through Acting) is a theatre group established some three years back with initiation of local youths. It has been presenting short dramas in Pashupati area regularly and in special occasions.
