Theatre Of Pakistan
Theatre in Pakistan has been developed and influenced by the traditional and ritual Persian theatre as well as the classical Indian dance practices of the Mughal Empire. As Pakistan is an Islamic state, the production of plays and theatrical performances in the past was not condoned in the country for religious reasons. That is why this performing art did not have the opportunity to develop and flourish. The concept of Pakistani theater as a national heritage could only be traced back to modern plays due to the absence of any classical theatrical tradition, while folk literature has also been largely obscured except the performances of the Bhand.
