On the fifth day of the International Theatre Festival of Kerala (ITFoK) on Tuesday, a captivating panel discussion delved into the transformative power of theatre in contemporary times.
The discussion led by renowned theatre director Anuradha Kapoor and theatre observer and North Bengal University Professor Ashish Sengupta uncovered the hidden layers of dialogue and unity within the realm of theatre. Under the guise of dramatic exploration, a profound realisation emerged that plays possess an innate ability to understand each other without direct interaction. This revelation, unbeknownst to the dramatists, underscored the depth of the connection inherent in theatrical expression, the panellists observed.
Communication, whether through words, body language or the manipulation of props, catalyses audience’s perception and emotional response.
