Beyond the Story: A Dialogue on Society and Dramaturgy

Beyond the Story: A Dialogue on Society and Dramaturgy

What makes a drama resonate long after the screen goes dark? Is it merely entertainment, or can storytelling challenge social norms, shape public imagination, and give voice to experiences that often remain unspoken?

Join us for an engaging conversation of Rakia Maryam with acclaimed writer Bee Gul and renowned director Kashif Nisar as they explore drama as a powerful medium of social reflection and cultural expression. Together, they will discuss how stories emerge from the realities of their time, the intellectual and artistic foundations of the creative process, and the ways in which drama engages with questions of identity, memory, morality, power, and human relationships.

Moving beyond scripts and production, the discussion will examine how art quietly influences the way societies think, feel, and remember – revealing truths that are often difficult to express through ordinary discourse.

Entry: Free and open for all. Just visit the venue to attend it.
