Event Details : "Atelier's Performing Series" aims to look at the oeuvre of an artist or a writer in its totality through performances, workshops and talks.
Indian Theatre lost two of its major theatre stalwarts in 2011: Badal Sircar and Gursharan Singh and we intend to pay tribute to the spirit of these two practitioners who integrated theatre form with social concern in such a masterly way without one dominating the other.
“Performing Sircar & Singh” is celebrating theatre of dissent in a world where the space for dissent is continuously shrinking. Having said so, the purpose of this festival is to encourage free writing and thought, which is so central to the idea of theatre, we deal with.
We plan to have workshops and talks by scholars who understand Badal Sircar and Gursharan Singh; publish a monograph on these two playwrights and perform them for public.

BAAKI ITIHAS - Synopsis
Baaki Itihas, in all ways, is a story of the absurd aspects of our life.
We and our desires, on one hand; the inhuman character of our social acts and oscillating between this is the conflicting meaninglessness and the inner conflict of hope. Hope is in constant struggle with nothingness and nothingness fascinates the human mind. This creates a picturesque yet compassionless history – Baaki Itihas!

SAARI RAAT - Synopsis
Saari Raat is a play about pleasure and peace.
In a very well crafted theatre piece, Badal Sircar questions if both: peace and pleasure can co-exist.
When one seeks pleasure, is he/she also inviting grief ?
An 80 minute highly dramatic performance will thrill you. Stay assured!
