Welcome to the website of Aarohan Theatre Group!
Aarohan was founded in 1982 by a group of theatre workers. In
Nepali, Aarohan means to climb. It also means performing space.
We work to create a Nepali theatre movement. We perform proscenium
theatre by Nepali playwrights and adapt foreign plays to the Nepali
context. We have given training throughout the country, helping
communities create their own theatre groups. We also perform Forum
Theatre and train marginalised and oppressed people to
use theatre as a weapon to improve their lives. In 2002, we founded Gurukul, Nepal’s first
school of theatre. We believe that an indigenous theatre movement
is both an alternative to a globalized consumer-oriented mass-media
and a tool for empowering communities and individuals rendered
marginal in modern Nepal.
