Abstract

Badal Sircar was a brilliant writer who wrote plays with the intention of bringing about social change. Because to his groundbreaking ideas in dramaturgy and performance, Badal Sircar has become an important figure in contemporary Indian theatre. To make theatre more approachable, interactive, and directly linked to social realities, his idea of Third theatre posed a challenge to traditional theatrical traditions. Focusing on non-linear narrative structures, minimalist staging, symbolism, non-linear monologues, and Brechtian tactics, this study analyses Sircar's experimental dramaturgy. This research examines Sircar's use of atypical theatrical forms in several of his works, including Bali, Raktakarabi, and Evam Indrajit, to depict themes of isolation, inequality, exploitation, political oppression, and the fight for human freedom. Instead of sitting on the sidelines and taking in the social and political realities shown on stage, his audiences are encouraged to actively participate via his fragmented tales and self-reflexive approaches. The research delves deeper into how dramatic innovation, symbolic aspects, direct audience address, minimal production, and socially aware practices all contribute to Sircar's concept of theatre. According to the article, Sircar's experimental dramaturgy shows how theatre can be a tool for social awareness, critical thinking, and actual change, and it also reimagines the connection between performance and reality.
