The Competition

The word “Antarnad” refers to the inner voices 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 his 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 street art play where the 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 daily life to the bigger vices plaguing society.

Antarnad 2022 will take place on 20^th April 2022 at the VIPS-TC Campus. The competition has 2 segments; the National Nukkad Natak Competition and the National Open-Mic Competition.
