Event Description : Theatre of Relevance philosophy completes glorious 25 years on 12th August 2017. The event shall be celebrated by hosting a 3 day Theatre Festival in the capital city, New Delhi. One shall experience various performances by the artists on plays written by Manjul Bhardwaj based on the Theatre of relevance philosophy.

'Theatre of Relevance” philosophy was initiated on August 12, 1992 and the challenge of implementation came to the fore. Capitalism has its own scheme of desecration. It covertly expands through religion, ignorance, nationalism, and orthodox traditions. The most pious principle of Indian constitution and the fundamental idea behind India’s existence, “secularism” was openly challenged and a frenzied mob of religious fundamentalists razed Babri Masjid (mosque) and the country, Mumbai was scorched in the fire of communal riots.
"Theatre of Relevance" by connecting life with drama has led to the emergence of artistic consciousness and has connected it to the masses. The presentations of “Theatre of Relevance” are not limited to any particular iconic auditorium or are not dependent on theses auditoriums, neither are being funded by any government, non- government, domestic or foreign institution. Its real 'wealth' is its cause and the real resource, the ‘audience’ on the basis of which, against all odds, it is committed to create a better, beautiful, and humanitarian world by becoming the voice of humanity through its substance and positive experiments. By awakening cultural consciousness, it is committed to Cultural Revolution!
