This closing lecture highlights the thematics evolved during the symposium and as a rigorous, complex, multi-layered critique of the symposium and its intent. Choudhury reflects on a critical aspect—a persistence in using the word of ‘Documentary theatre’ rather than ‘Theatre of the Real’. In reclaiming and reiterating the concept of Documentary theatre, Chowdhury offers a resolute substantiation of the term ‘Documentary Theatre’—he describes it not as a genre, but as a movement and places the idea of documentary theatre in relation to a mass media society.
