  • In October, 2023 Radical Evolution had the chance to collaborate with the New Delhi-based street theatre company, Jana Natya Manch by co-creating a new play during a 2 week workshop in NYC. Inspired by his time documenting the exchange, podcast and documentary producer Remoy Philip, founder of Bad Coolie productions has teamed up with us to produce a narrative documentary series exploring connections between theatre-making and progressive social movements across the world - and the global connections between the folks doing this work.
