Sanyukta Saha: ‘I found meaning, hope and community in theatre’

Sanyukta Saha, the founder of Delhi’s Aagaaz Theatre Trust, has been recognized by the prestigious Ranga Shankara for her dedication to community-driven theatre. The Shankar Nag Theatre Award, presented to her, holds a special significance as it honors the legacy of Shankar Nag and his contributions to Indian theatre. Saha’s journey has been marked by empowering underrepresented voices through the arts, particularly children who are now leading Aagaaz. She believes that theatre has the power to address social issues and humanize society by creating spaces for storytelling and community engagement.
