Theatrewala-about theatre & culture

The Arshinagar Project presents Dramatic Space - Theatre as Transformation Worlds Within and Without April 14th and 15th, 2012 Theatre : What, Whose, Why? There are as many different kinds of theatre as there are people. As Augusto Boal said, "We are all actors: Being a citizen is not living in society, it is changing it” .
