Theatre still a strong medium- Seema Biswas


Theatre has always been a strong medium that addressed the problems of society and it is never less superior to films. Humanism should be the basic quality that one should embrace be it in film or drama. She said that she ascribed no boundary to theatres whether it be Indian or Foreign and expressed intense desire to act in malayalam drama overcoming the limitation of language.
To the question that whether she wish to do bold characters like that in Bandit Queen she answered that she likes to break the present image of her's and do tender character. Its through body language and expression, one should communicate ideas to people. She was deeply moved by the death of Phoolan Devi (the character she did) and experssed that Phoolan was safe in the jungle and was shot dead when she embraced politics.
Seema Biswas was talking to the media on the second day of National theatre fest. She was the chief guest in the National Theatre festival 2009.
