Jana Sanskriti, a Theater on the Field 2006

Directed by Jeanne Dosse

Over one thousand Indian peasants have decided no longer to put up with the problems in Indian society: patriarchs, corruption, and, worse, indifference. For this struggle, they have chosen an unexpected tool: theater. Through courageous statements and passages from their theater-forum plays, members of the Jana Sanskriti (People's Culture) show us a solidary India. The troop headquartered in West Bengal, is part of a movement present in ten states in the country.
