Awareness Play 'Utsarga' Highlights Challenges Faced by Little People in Nepal

Kathmandu. The awareness-raising play 'Utsarga', presented by the Little People Association of Nepal in collaboration with local bodies, has been released. The play was created with the objective of spreading awareness by dispelling myths and fears surrounding little people in society, particularly women.

The play focuses on the social curiosity and misconceptions regarding whether little women can become mothers. Additionally, the organizers stated that the play attempts to highlight issues related to reproductive health, family planning, and women's rights.

Written by Raju Khatiwada, the play is directed by renowned theater artist and actor JB D.C. Having established himself as a successful actor in theater and film for a long time, D.C. has been directing plays based on social issues in collaboration with the Little People Association for many years.

The play features performances by actors including Nischal Shrestha, Anita Thapa, Saru Dahal, Rajendra Giri, Riya Ghimire, Surya Khan, Lalumaya Pakhrin, and Nishal Dulal. Through their acting, the performers have brought sensitive social issues to the stage.

The organizers informed that the play, which has been staged in various locations in Kathmandu, will soon be performed in various places outside the valley, including Pokhara and Hetauda.

Director D.C. expressed his belief that this play, which covers sensitive and overlooked social issues, will provide the audience with both entertainment and important education and messages.
