"Documentary theater attempts to de-decide certain widely accepted decisions, or perhaps “notions” is a better word, of history. Does de-deciding great historical chronicles subsequently re-decide history? Of course not. But a whole range of knowledge, intelligence, re-evaluation, and collective critical work opens up within the space of this de-decision and its aftermath." [Soumyabrata Choudhury]

On January 11, German director Kai Tuchmann will initiate a debate:
Together with theater professor Parichat Jungwiwattanaporn and documentary theater maker Anuja Ghosalkar, they will discuss practices around a form of theatre that uses the stage for producing alternative historiographies.

Tuchmann and Ghosalkar draw from their decade-long experiences in building audiences for this theatrical form in India.
