नेपाली लोकनाटक (सोरठी, घाटु र गोपिचन) का विशेषता

-
डा. अशोक थापा त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालय , नेपाली केन्द्रीय विभाग , कीर्तिपुर सारसङ्‌क्षेप लोकनाटकको लोकजीवनसँग घनिष्ट सम्बन्ध रहन्छ । यही निकटताले गर्दा कतिपय चाडपर्व , शुभअवसर , माङ्गलिक कार्यसँग लोकनाटकको निकटता देखिन्छ । कतिपय लोकनाटक विवाहको अवसरमा देखाउने प्रचलन पनि छ । यो गीत , नृत्य , अभिनय , स्वाङ् आदि विविध संरचनामा रहेको हुन्छ । लोकनाटक हाम्रो आदिम कालदेखिको समाजसँग निकट सम्बन्ध रहेको प्रदर्शनकारी कला हो । बहुसांस्कृतिक देश भएकाले लोकनाटकका लागि नेपाल उन्नत भूमि पनि हो । यहाँ सोरठी , घाटु , गोपिचन , लिला , नचरी , बालन आदिजस्ता लोकनाटकहरू प्रचलनमा छन् । लोकनाटक व्यापक दायरा र क्षेत्र समेटिने प्रदर्शनकारी कला हो । लोकनाटकबाट आधुनिक नाटकमा यथेष्ट प्रभावहरू परेको देखिन्छ । यस लेखमा लोकनाटकको सामन्य परिचय दिएर नेपालका विभिन्न भागमा प्रचलनमा रहेका सोरठी , घाटु र गोपिचन नाटकको चिनारी दिइएको छ र समग्रतामा तिनीहरूको विशेषताको निरूपण गरिएको छ । सरलभाषा हुनु , सामन्य निरक्षर व्यक्तिले पनि बुझ्नु , स्थानीय बोलीमा संवाद गरिनु , माङ्गलिक हुनु आदि लोकनाटकका विशेषताहरू हुन् । मुख्य शब

नेपाली नाटकको समकालीन दृष्‍टि

अशोक थापा, उपप्राध्यापक,  नेपाली केन्द्रीय विभाग, त्रिवि क.पृष्ठभूमि प्रस्तुत लेखमा विशेष गरी दुई महŒवपूर्ण पक्ष समेटिएका छन् । पहिलो नेपाली नाटकको पश्चवर्ती सिर्जनात्मक गतिविधि र दोस्रो यसले अबलम्बन गरेको विषयस्रोत । झन्डै चार दशक (वि.सं. २०३० पछि) भन्दा लामो समयदेखि नेपाली नाटकले समसामयिक घटनाहरूलाई अबलम्बन गरेको देखिन्छ । समाजनिरपेक्ष नाटक लेखिँदैन यसर्थ नेपाली नाटककको पछिल्लो समय पनि सामाजिक घटनामै केन्द्रित छन् । समाजकै सापेक्षतामा नाटकलाई तीनै लोकको अनुकरण गरिने विधा भनिएको हुनुपर्छ । हुन त समकालीन शब्दले एकडेढ दशकको समयलाई बुझाउँछ भनिन्छ । पश्चिमी साहित्यमा पछिल्लो पचास वर्ष (५०) को समयमा लेखिएको साहित्यलाई समकालीन साहित्य भन्न सकिन्छ भन्ने धारणा पनि रहेको छ । यस लेखमा पनि नाटकका साझा प्रवृत्तिलाई आधार मानेर वि.सं. २०३० पछिको नाटकसिर्जनालाई समकालीन नाटक मानिएको छ ।  ख. तीसको दशक (२०३०–२०३९) का नाटकहरू  विजय मल्ल र गोविन्दबहादुर मल्ल ‘गोठाले’ले नेतृत्व गरेको मनोविश्लेषणात्मक धारालाई तोड्दै ध्रुवचन्द्र गौतमको विसङ्गतिवादी नाटक त्यो एउटा कुरा (२०३० चैत) को प्रकाशनसँगै नेपाली नाटकको
