"Arre, meri zeest bohot lambi hai, meri Jaan.

Ye chaar by chaar ki chalti phirti tasveerein mujhe qaid nahin kar paayengi. I was

made for the theatre, and it is the theatre I go back to. Wahin par saansein aati hain,

aur Khuda na Khaasta kabhi khuda ne saansein cheen li mujh se, toh rangmanch par hi

dam todungi apna!"

                                       -Nazia Shah

ABHIVYAKTI

The Dramatics Society

Abhivyakti was among the first few dramatics societies of Delhi University. Founded at the time when women's liberation was a cause of concern, the society performed its very first play on Dowry Issues. As per the records available, the first public performance started in 1951, from then on there has been no looking back. The society provides a platform to indulge in theatrical activities: Stage, Street and Annual Public Performance. The team uses the art of expression with unmatched enthusiasm to help address the maladies of the society and to form an impetus for the change we wish to see in the world. It brings to you awareness in the form of a power packed combo of eye-opening plays and exuberant performers. While Stage gets to your sentimentality with its beautiful subtlety, Street (or Nukkad)literally gives you a chance to shout your concerns out loud and be a part of Change. The society has performed plays of popular playwrights like Brecht, Girish Karnad, Mohan Rakesh and Kalidas.
