Description

“Rangparivrajak” is a critical introduction (Parichay Pustika 1332) connected with the theatrical life and work of Govardhan Panchal, compiled/edited in the scholarly context by Hasmukh Baradi. The work presents an overview of Panchal’s contribution to theatre as a travelling theatre practitioner and his role in experimenting with different performance traditions.

The text highlights the concept of Rang Parivrajak (wandering theatre artist), who travels from place to place, performing, learning, and spreading theatre culture. This idea connects theatre with journey, experience, and continuous learning rather than a fixed stage practice.

Baradi explains that such theatre practitioners play an important role in preserving folk traditions, understanding diverse audiences, and developing new forms of performance. The work also reflects on how theatre becomes a living practice through movement, interaction, and cultural exchange.

Thus, “Rangparivrajak” presents theatre as a dynamic and evolving art form shaped by experience, travel, and artistic exploration.
