Prominence of Social Stigmas and Hierarchies in Folk Theatre Artists' Conscience

    This article probes into an exploration of Social stigmas and hierarchies in Saeed's Forgotten Faces that result in the detachment of an artist in society. The colonial rule of society proposed a new value to this research which mainly focuses on discrimination which leads towards the demise of folk theatre and its artists. Demise is the outcome of psychological discrepancies that come their way. This hegemonic supremacy of societal rules compels them to not have their own discourse and their desired way of spending life. They cannot keep their personal lives private. Being in this profession, artists sacrifice many things that a person from another profession can't dare to think so. In the finale, the present study contextualizes within the boarder of Freud's theory of personality and social-cognitive approaches to unravel reality. The article results that you lose your soul first and lose your mind at last, which is the final destruction of the artist life: social hierarchies and the stigma of being bad to prove turmoil for artists by destroying their mental peace.
