Rangakarmee, which had its
inception in January 1976, spearheads the Hindi theatre in Calcutta today, with
seven productions on its live repertoire (three of them completed hundred
performances each).
With Mahabhoj (1984), Lok-katha (1987), Holi
(1989), Vama (1990), Court Martial (1991), Rudali (1993), Khoj
(1994), Beti Aayee (1996), Maiyyat (1997) and Himmat Mai
(1998), it has established itself as a politically committed group that delves
into forms of exploitation and oppression, political, economic and social and
sexual; unravelling the mechanisms at work, offering enlightenment at the end,
and never simplifying the issues into slogans or solution.
Recognition has come to Rangakarmee
in the form of several awards, including the state Government's award for the
best production of the year for four of its productions till date. Rangakarmee
has travelled extensively to different parts of the country, to rural interiors
and industrial suburbs spread throughout the state, breaking language barriers
and reaching an audience that few theatre groups have reached till now.
