This was GECA’S fourth year to participate in Firodiya Karandak.

Act Name: KATHEKARI (folk story teller)- Written by Abhay Pingle,
Directed by Prathmesh Kanade

Story: The play KATHEKARI is about a group of adivasis who perform adivasi art forms and showcase
their rich culture. The group is led by Mangal Murmu who writes adivasi folk songs and directs the
program. He has been performing shows since any years with a large participation from the tribes, but
over the years the participation reduced dramatically, yet the group is formed for the show somehow.
But the story takes a twist when the group finds out involvement of some government officials trying to
invade their lands. So, the story is about a group who is trying to perform their adivasi program and
how they end up protesting against govt. officials.
