OUR FOUNDING HISTORY

Welcome to Nautanki

 

Nautanki Theatre Company is a Western Sydney based performing arts organisation.

Located in NSW, our objective is to showcase South Asian talent, stories and culture through live performing theatre.

Our story began in 2012 as an independent theatre company, and thanks to our partnership with Riverside Theatre, we’ve been an integral part of the cross cultural storytelling journey that has been supported by our faithful patrons and theatre-lovers.

In ten years, NTC has presented six successful live theatre performance, each a full fledged production that has taken time, effort, talent and dedication. Every one of these productions was received with heart-warming enthusiasm by the South Asian diaspora.

We inaugurated the South Asian Theatre Festival in 2016 and our project involved more than 200 actors, performers, crew and support staff. Since then, our SATF event has been attended by more than 5000 people.

Through our performances and programs, we reach out to more than 100,000 people based largely in Western Sydney each year, bringing the best of South Asian theatre to a varied audience.

The emergence of COVID-19 brought our plans for 2020-21 to a grinding halt. The hardest hit were actors, theatre specialists like make up artists, photographers, production teams for whom theatre is a livelihood.

We continued to work behind the scenes during this time, planning initiatives and developing future projects.

Now we are back and keen to bring the best of our talent and resources to the stage.

Our commitment is to continue bringing South Asian stories to life, representing your part in contemporary Australia, engaging with the rich and varied heritage that we all share and presenting these to a wider, appreciative mainstream audience.

ORIGINS

A Folk Theatre Art Form

Nautanki is a folk theatre art form. The origins of this operatic theatre performance has been lost in the sands of time, but its format has evolved and developed through the centuries.

Nautanki is still performed in rural parts of South Asia, in which music and chorus align with grassroots acting and makeshift props to present a form of entertainment for inhabitants of villages and small towns. Some groups continue their nomadic journeys through rural areas, revising their  repertoires with each visit. And after entertaining their eager audience, they leave behind fans who will return to applaud their next performance in a few months’ time.

With tongue in cheek lyrics, clever banter between performers, parody, exaggerated comic and pathos, and stereotypical personalities Nautanki successfully conveyed contemporary social messaging effectively. Sadly Nautanki as an art form is declining as the focus of entertainment moving towards cinema, television and digital technology.

Bollywood, the home of South Asia’s vibrant and ever growing film industry was largely inspired by the Nautanki art form.
