Theatre has long stood as a powerful medium for storytelling, cultural expression, and societal introspection. From its origins in ancient civilizations, it has served not only as a source of entertainment but also as a dynamic platform for voicing social concerns and sparking transformative dialogue. Theatre has played a crucial role in movements such as the freedom struggle—becoming a tool for mobilization and a voice for the marginalized.
