Uprising, the street play competition (prelims) at HT City Youth Nexus, was all about socially-relevant themes and entertaining acts

Budding theatre actors braved the afternoon heat to take part in the prelims for Uprising - the street play competition at HT City Youth Nexus 2013. Each of the 10 participating teams had a different, socially-relevant message to give out through their act.

Painted faces and beats of dholak and daflis added to the mood of the event, supported by Fever Entertainment. The street play of Gargi College portrayed cruelty towards animals, while PGDAV’s act talked about sex education still being a hush hush topic in the Indian society.

The production by Shivaji College emphasised on the atrocities and trouble faced by tribal communities. The final five teams which impressed the jury with their bold acts, got to enter the grand finale.
