To commemorate the centenary of the legendary playwright and theatre visionary Badal Sircar, Shudrka Hyderabad presents KOLAJ — a multilingual theatrical tribute curated with love, politics, and memory. Staged two days prior to Sircar’s 100th birthday, Kolaj is a woven tapestry of six of his seminal plays: Udyogparba, Pagla Ghoda, Michhil, Bhoma, Khat Mat Kring, and Spartacus.

True to Sircar’s spirit of questioning, resistance, and humanism, this production traverses languages, forms, and emotions. Interlacing the personal with the political, the past with the present, Kolaj reflects Sircar’s lifelong commitment to people’s theatre and his experimentations with space, structure, and storytelling.

This is not just a performance — it is an act of remembrance, of resistance, and of return. Shudrka Hyderabad invites you to witness this homage to a playwright who redefined Indian theatre and continues to provoke and inspire across generations.
