Children have to wait till next year for enjoying their summer vacation, learning theatre and other activities at Rangayana, a premier theatre repertory here, as the much-awaited Chinnara Mela, a popular summer camp organised by the repertory, is not happening this year too. Reason: Rangayana artists are touring the State in connection with the staging of a play.
The last Chinnara Mela was held in 2019 and it was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 owing to COVID-19.
The artists are staging ‘Parva’, an eight-hour long play based on the work of novelist S.L. Bhyrappa, in all major district headquarters and also outside the State. Rangayana has plans to conclude the staging of the play in June.
