Answer: (B) Yatra Party
Answer: (B) Yatra Party
While various traditional theatrical forms existed in Assam, the Yatra Party is considered the most direct precursor to mobile theatre. Yatra parties were traveling troupes that performed plays, often based on mythological or historical themes, for audiences in different locations. This tradition of traveling performance troupes laid the groundwork for the development of mobile theatre, which adopted and modernized this concept. While Ankia Nat and Bhaona contributed to Assamese theatrical traditions, they weren't traveling troupes in the same way as the Yatra and thus not the direct predecessor of mobile theatre's format.
