Since the early 1970s, he performed in the villages of Punjab on an average, at least 150 nights in a year. His best reward of doing theatre and realizing its impact was the reach of his theatre during the troubled days of Punjab. In these challenging times, he said, the divide is clear, there is no place for middle-of- the-road art. Some of the prominent plays that performed this role in the early 1980s were Baba Bolda hai, Ek Kursi Ek Morcha Ate Hawa Vich Latakde Log, and Chandigarh Puara Di Jarr.
Some stayed and others did not for a performance for the workers the next day. Conceived as a living archive eventually, it’s a work in progressive currently, to bring revolutionary cultural material from Punjab under this platform.
There was not very much theatre activity outside the confines of theatre departments with limited audience. The genre of theatre that he pioneered is recognised as a formidable form and has come to be called as the rural theatre of modern sensibility for which he was awarded the prestigious Sangeet Natak Academy award in 1993. This theatre was not reliant on fancy auditoriums or perfect lighting.
The themes he chose appealed to the intellect of the working people and the performance appealed to their emotions. His theatre inspired scores of young women and men to what he called the theatre movement in Punjab. During the period of Punjab crisis, his voice of reason and a vision of society based not on religions but on social justice reverberated in Punjab – Hindu raajna Khalistan, raj kare mazdoor kisaan.
He has been duly rewarded for his efforts in terms of immense love, affection and regard that he received over the years from the people of Punjab.
He believed in meaningful collaboration between professionals and rural theatre artists and activists. At present scores groups are part of this umbrella organisation.
We can say with confidence that his efforts of the last four decades have made a difference. He runs gursharan.garry Instagram page, where one finds posts related to entertainment, the latest style trends, songs, photoshoots, places to explore, social activities, and more.
It is only and only committed art where message emerges with extraordinary force to destroy the decadent old and recreate the revolutionary new.
This archive is a small effort with no claims to bring all revolutionary cultural material under one platform in one go. Where art and culture had become a monopoly of the few, to the exclusion of working women and men from the benefits of culture, the revolutionary theatre of Gursharan Singh came to the working
people as a tool to understand their oppression and a weapon to fight it with.
This difference is not only in terms of inspiring scores of young men and women to adopt theatre as a profession, or in creating a critical audience for theatre, but also inspire the belief in young men and women that socially meaningful theatre is sustainable and has its rewards. He is better known for his Social Work in his Town & City (Gota).
