About:

The Play: Michhil

Michhil is a classic in Bengali theater written by Badal Sircar. It was first performed by his theater group "Satabdi" in 1974.  This is a play that was created to be performed beyond the proscenium in the streets and field with non-actors.  As we approach the 50th year of this landmark play, it's relevance still resonates as generations old and young grapple with alienation, dispossession and invisibility while living under constant fear and invisible threat. It begs the question how many times can you die and how long can you remain lost?

Script: Badal Sircar
