Swabhav Meyeder Dol
For the last 15 years, Swabhav Natak Dal has been working with marginalized groups – women, children, workers, youth – helping them tell their stories through theatre. Swabhav Meyeder Dol was created in 2021 as an attempt to counter the loneliness and trauma of the lockdown, by creating a space for marginalized girls and women to come together and find their-self worth through the performing arts. Over the last three-and-a-half years, we have evolved into a small women’s performance collective, creating plays on social and environmental issues, and performing them in schools, colleges, NGOs, bustees, terraces, courtyards and festivals in and around Kolkata. We have completed over forty performances of our maiden show, ‘Humaare Gaane’, as well as several shows of our plays ‘Miss Tiljala’ and ‘A Tale of Two Butchers’, the latter of which we are now performing in Hindi as ‘Do Kasaai Ki Kahaani’.
