Amol and Chitra Palekar
NATYA SHODH SANSTHAN Interview of Amol and ChitraPalekar FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF NATYASHODHSANSTHAN AUDIO LIBRARY Recorded on 1st. July, 1982 NatyaBhavan EE 8, Sector 2, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700091/ Call 033 23217667 visit us at http://www.natyashodh.org https://sites.google.com/view/nssheritagelibrary/home (Amol Palekar&ChitraPalekar came a little late and joined the discussionregarding the scope of theatre and the different forms a playwright tries to explore.) ChitraPalekar It is not that you cannot do a thing. You can do anything, you can do anything. It is not the point. The point is that the basic advantage that cinema has over theatre, the whole mass of audience, you know, all those eight hundred or nine hundred people he can put them to a close-up. This tableau we still see in theatre sitting as a design in a particular frame but here you can break that frame, you can go closer and he can focus your attention on just a little point here and a gesture here, and a gesture there and you know, on stage you will have to show with a torch yet it won’t be visible. Amol Palekar The point is …..Obviously two points come to my mind. First and foremost, suppose you are able to do it, and you are able to hold the audience then why not. The question is – yes, you do it for two hours, just keep one tableau and somebody the off sound is there. If that can hold then I think it will be a perfect valid theatre, why not? Bimal Lath Could it be that we can make 10 plays the same way? Amol Palekar Yes, why not? In fact I think on this issue I will say something which will immediately start a big fight so I will purposely started not for the sake of fight but because I believe in it also. -

He tendered his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella, the ultimate arbiter of Italian political crises, who invited him to stay on in a caretaker capacity pending discussions on what happens next. Italy was the first European country to face the full force of the Covid-19 pandemic and has since suffered badly, with the economy plunged into recession and deaths still rising by around 400 a day. Parts of the country remain under partial lockdown, the vaccination programme has slowed and a deadline is looming to agree on plans to spend billions of euros in European Union recovery funds. Kaja Kallas to become Estonia’s first female prime minister Kaja Kallas, the leader of the Reform Party will become Estonia’s first female prime minister. The Reform Party, led by Kallas, won the 2019 parliamentary election in Estonia with 34 MPs in the country’s 101-seat parliament, Riigikogu. Estonia would thus currently become the only country in the world where both the president Kersti Kaljulaid and the prime minister are women. -
Hindi Theater Is Not Seen in Any Other Theatre

The participants include – Kishen Kumar, Shymanand Jalan, Shiv Kumar Joshi, Shiv Kumar Jhunjhunwala, Manamohan Thakore1, Samik Banerjee, Dharani Ghosh, Usha Ganguly2 and Bimal Lath. We welcome all of you on behalf of Natya Shodh Sansthan. For quite some time we, the actors, directors, critics and the members of the audience have been appreciating and at the same time complaining about the plays that are being staged in Calcutta in the languages that are being practiced in Calcutta, be it in Hindi, English, Bangla or any other language. We felt that if we, the practitioners should sit down and talk about the various issues that are bothering us, we may be able to solve some of the problems and several issues may be resolved. Often it so happens that the artists take one side and the critics-audience occupies the other. There is a clear division – one group which creates and the other who criticizes. Many a time this proves to be useful and necessary as well. -

Badal Sircar
Badal Sircar Scripting a Movement Shayoni Mitra The ultimate answer [...] is not for a city group to prepare plays for and about the working people. The working people—the factory workers, the peasants, the landless laborers—will have to make and perform their own plays. [...] This process of course, can become widespread only when the socio-economic movement for emancipation of the working class has also spread widely. When that happens the Third Theatre (in the context I have used it) will no longer have a separate function, but will merge with a transformed First Theatre. —Badal Sircar, 23 November 1981 (1982:58) It is impossible to discuss the history of modern Indian theatre and not en- counter the name of Badal Sircar. Yet one seldom hears his current work talked of in the present. How is it that one of the greatest names, associated with an exemplary body of dramatic work, gets so easily lost in a haze of present-day ignorance? While much of his previous work is reverentially can- onized, his present contributions are less well known and seldom acknowl- edged. It was this slippage I set out to examine. I expected to find an ailing man reminiscing of past glories. I was warned that I might find a cynical per- son, an incorrigible skeptic weary of the world. Instead, I encountered an in- domitable spirit walking along his life path looking resolutely ahead. A kind old man who drew me a map to his house and saved tea for me in a thermos. A theatre person extraordinaire recounting his latest workshop in Laos, devis- ing how to return as soon as possible. -
Setting the Stage: a Materialist Semiotic Analysis Of
SETTING THE STAGE: A MATERIALIST SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY BENGALI GROUP THEATRE FROM KOLKATA, INDIA by ARNAB BANERJI (Under the Direction of Farley Richmond) ABSTRACT This dissertation studies select performance examples from various group theatre companies in Kolkata, India during a fieldwork conducted in Kolkata between August 2012 and July 2013 using the materialist semiotic performance analysis. Research into Bengali group theatre has overlooked the effect of the conditions of production and reception on meaning making in theatre. Extant research focuses on the history of the group theatre, individuals, groups, and the socially conscious and political nature of this theatre. The unique nature of this theatre culture (or any other theatre culture) can only be understood fully if the conditions within which such theatre is produced and received studied along with the performance event itself. This dissertation is an attempt to fill this lacuna in Bengali group theatre scholarship. Materialist semiotic performance analysis serves as the theoretical framework for this study. The materialist semiotic performance analysis is a theoretical tool that examines the theatre event by locating it within definite material conditions of production and reception like organization, funding, training, availability of spaces and the public discourse on theatre. The data presented in this dissertation was gathered in Kolkata using: auto-ethnography, participant observation, sample survey, and archival research. The conditions of production and reception are each examined and presented in isolation followed by case studies. The case studies bring the elements studied in the preceding section together to demonstrate how they function together in a performance event. The studies represent the vast array of theatre in Kolkata and allow the findings from the second part of the dissertation to be tested across a variety of conditions of production and reception. -

EVAM INDRAJIT by Badal Sircar
EVAM INDRAJIT By Badal Sircar (PART – 1) ABOUT THE AUTHOR Indroduction Badal Sircar (15 July 1925–13 May 2011), also known as Badal Sarkar, was an influential Indian dramatist and theatre director. He is mostly known for his anti-establishment plays during the Naxalite movement in the 1970s. He took theatre out of the proscenium and into public arena, when he founded his own theatre company, Shatabdi in 1976. He wrote more than fifty plays of which Ebong Indrajit, Basi Khabar, and Saari Raat are well known literary pieces. As a theorist and philosopher of Indian theatre, Sircar opened up the discourse to include concerns with democratic human interaction and a search for a more just and equitable society. As a mentor and teacher, he travelled widely across the country holding workshops which had a deep impact on hundreds of theatre workers, including some major directors. Education Sircar was initially schooled at the Scottish Church Collegiate School, Kolkata. After transferring from the Scottish Church College, he studied civil engineering at the Bengal Engineering College (now IIEST), Shibpur, Howrah then affiliated with the University of Calcutta. In 1992, he finished his Master of Arts degree in comparative literature from the Jadavpur University in Kolkata. Career While Sircar was working as a town planner in India, England and Nigeria, he entered theatre as an actor, moved to direction, but soon started writing plays, starting with comedies. He experimented with theatrical environments such as stage, costumes and presentation and established a new genre of theatre called "Third Theatre". In Third Theatre approach, he created a direct communication with audience and emphasised on expressionist acting along with realism. -
