Michhil (Procession)
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, its 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 questions, how many times can one die and how long can one remain lost?
