Julian Boal, editor of UNDER PRESSURE, the International Theatre of the Oppressed (ITO) Newsletter, devotes the current issue to the Indian activist organization Jana Sanskriti. Says Boal, "Jana Sanskriti represents to me all the beauty that can be achieved in this world through Theatre of the Oppressed." The theater is engaged in a struggle against West Bengal State and a number of corporations. "Thousands of peasants are now facing the risk of being evicted from their houses, land and livelihood because the government want to give their lands to corporations," says Boal. The issue reports on recent organizing events in India: an ITO workshop; a 12,000-person rally by Jana Sanskriti; an Augusto Boal speech; and founding texts of the Federation of Theatre of the Oppressed–India.
