April 1994. Editor: Anjum Katyal<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Augusto Boal's, pathbreaking book\u00a0Theatre of the Oppressed\u00a0has been an important source of ideas for theatre persons for twenty years. Born in Brazil, Boal has a history of practising theatre in the underdeveloped countries of his home continent of South America, under repressive regimes which have, at various times, imposed strictures and bans on his work.\r\n\r\nBoal's concept of theatre\u00a0of\u00a0as opposed to\u00a0for\u00a0the oppressed empowers the audience, turning them from passive spectators into what he calls 'spect-actors', an audience which intervenes, redirects and reinterprets the 'play'.\r\n\r\nBoal's theatre concepts and techniques contain a tremendous potential for application to our own country; in fact, there are at least two organizations working independently in two widely separated parts of the country, who are using his ideas and methods in their theatre work.\r\n\r\nWhen we heard that Boal was to interact with Indian activist theatre workers in a four-day workshop, STQ requested permission to meet and talk with Boal, and to participate, through a representative, in the workshop.\r\n\r\nB.V. Karanth's long involvement with theatre has spanned milestone productions like\u00a0Tughlaq, Hayavadana and Ghashiram Kotwal,\u00a0as well as administrative and directorial positions of tremendous responsibility: In a special session organized by STQ, he talked at length to Samik Bandyopadhyay about his career and the influences that shaped him.\r\n\r\nNemai Ghosh is better known as the photographer associated with Satyajit Ray; but he is also an accomplished theatre photographer. A glimpse of the rich store of pictorial memorabilia he has in his possession is provided by the selection of photographs in this issue.<\/span><\/pre>\n
