Michhil will be BAAT’s homage to Badal Sircar whose birth Centenary is celebrated this year by theater lovers across the globe. by theater lovers this year. He wrote this play in 1974 as a vehicle to start the movement of “Third Theater”, where the barrier of proscenium between actors and audiences is broken. In Badal Sircar’s own words “Michhil is not a play for a stage. It is to be performed in an open field, or on the floor of a large room, where audiences sit surrounding the acting area.” We will present Michhil in this original third theater format. There will be no sets, no special lights, no special props, no background music, no make-up, and no mike. Just the actors and the audience in close proximity.
Bay Area has not seen this type of play before. Please mark your calendar on December 6th and December 7th for a great introduction of “Third Theater.”
