Shrestha performs at Pum and ASSITEJ festivals


Kathmandu, July 25: Theatre artiste Kedar Shrestha has enacted a solo-performance at the Pum Theatre Festival and ASSITEJ Korea International Summer Theatre Festival in South Korea. ASSITEJ is the umbrella organisation of the international children’s theatre around the world.

He presented a play ‘Mr. Moon, Miss Sun and Mrs. Crow’. The play was created during a month long Asian Artiste Residence Workshop organised in South Korea.

Shrestha directed and acted in the play developed out of a famous Korean folk tale in the supervision of Song Inhyun, Director of Mindule Theatre and Pum Festival.

He is the Founder and Art Director of the Theatre Centre for Children (TCC) Nepal and Theatre Mall, and is participated in the workshop representing ASSITEJ Nepal.

The play tells a story of a struggle of hungry brother and sister who are waiting for their mother and fight with a cunning tiger. A crow gives them company in their struggle against the tiger. The mother saves her kids posthumously, and the two siblings become Moon and Sun.

Shrestha performed all five characters in the play.
The festival is running in 26 years. According to Shrestha, the workshop was attended by 10 artistes from South Korea, Nepal, India, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Pakistan while the festival witnessed the performance from many countries across the world.
