The session, titled Theatre in Kashmir: Reviving a Living Tradition, brought together eminent theatre practitioners on a common platform to reflect on the evolution of Kashmiri theatre, the challenges it has faced over the decades and the need to cultivate a new generation of playwrights, actors and audiences. Opening the discussion, Dr Farooq Fayaz traced the roots of Kashmiri theatre to the regions ancient Sanskrit traditions, describing Kashmir as one of the foremost centres of learning in philosophy, literature, aesthetics and dramatic arts. Referring to historical texts such as the Nilamata Purana and Rajatarangini, he said archaeological and literary evidence points to a flourishing tradition of playwriting and performance in the valley. Veteran theatre personality Nisar Naseem described the period between 1970 and 1989 as the golden era of Kashmiri theatre, when original productions in Kashmiri and Hindi flourished. He noted that while theatre across the world initially revolved around religion before evolving into stories of kings and wars, its greatest strength lay in portraying the lives and struggles of ordinary people. Actor Kusum Tikoo stressed that meaningful theatre does not require elaborate auditoriums and can thrive through street plays, neighbourhood performances and community spaces. She also encouraged young artists to experiment with contemporary formats, including short theatrical reels on social media and rooftop performances. We respect our golden history, but we cannot remain confined to it, she said, urging students to write original scripts and become the next generation of playwrights and performers.

He also highlighted the importance of independent cultural initiatives, noting that his organisation had staged nearly 1,500 plays despite receiving government support for only a small fraction of them. The discussion, moderated by Rashid Nizami, also explored the impact of conflict on theatre in Kashmir and emphasised the need for sustained efforts to revive the Valley's vibrant performing arts tradition.
