Using theatre to voice her deepest concerns
Chandigarh, September 19
Theatre, for Usha Ganguly, is subordinate to nothing else in the world. For 28 years, she has been using the medium to voice her deepest concerns and share her gravest fears.

with productions like “Mahabhoj”, “Rudali” and “Antaryatra” in her
repertoire, but also as a writer engaged in unraveling elements that make our
world look hideous.
