Mandala Theatre-Nepal is going to organize the third edition of Nepal International Theatre Festival 2025 in Kathmandu from March 19th to 25th, 2025.

Mandala Theatre envisions a society that strongly appreciates and celebrates each other’s cultural diversity.

Can you recall washing clothes by boiling ashes in water ? Do you set out on a journey after applying Tikā from your mother's feet ? Do you make sure to impurify your drinks before consuming ? Have you ever questioned why and since when these practices began ? In the culture of the Mājh Kirāt people, Mundum, myths, and inherited oral traditions hold immense significance. Mundum, myths, and inherited oral traditions have given birth to “Umlindo Kharāni Ra Lemlemmā”. This play symbolically questions how the seeds of patriarchal thought gradually infiltrated and ultimately overtook a matriarchal society, while also attempting to erase and distort indigenous beauty and traditions. In the truest essence, this play explores— what if a myth passed down through generations in a simple lower-class family were to become reality ? What if a sweet dream seen with open eyes turned into a horrifying nightmare ? The characters of this play exist within the periphery of these very questions.
