ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

VIPS Legal Aid Clinic in coordination with Mashaal proudly announces ‘Antarnad 3.0’, the 3rd edition of the National Nukkad Natak Competition, National Open-Mic Competition and National Mono-Acting Competition, to be held on December 06, 2023 at the VIPS-TC campus.

The word “Antarnad” means the inner voice present within every individual. It is the intrinsic speech of an individual’s soul, the moral compass that differentiates rights from wrongs for that individual, the guiding light that illuminates one’s path in the journey of life.

Antarnad was chosen as the name for this event because through this event, we wish to highlight and bring forth the inner voices suppressed within every individual and give them a platform to let loose and express themselves through acting, more specifically, through Nukkad Natak.

Nukkad Natak is a form of street art play where actors perform in public with a live audience. Nukkad Natak is used as a medium to reach out to the general public and briefly shift their attention from the hustle and bustle of their dailylife to the bigger vices plaguing the society.

Antarnad 3.0 will take place on 06th December 2023 at the VIPS-TC Campus. The competition has 3 segments; the National Nukkad Natak Competition, the National Open-Mic Competition and the National Mono-Acting Competition.
