Founders From One Cultural Strand to Many In 1981, Rana Bose and Rahul Varma co-founded the Teesri Duniya Theatre to address the absence of cultural diversity in Canadian theatre. Over the years, the company produced socially and politically charged plays featuring the lived and cultural experiences of visible minorities living in Canada. In 1986, Bose left Teesri to establish Montreal Serai, a diverse literary magazine. The same year, Varma became the company’s sole artistic director. Varma continued Teesri’s cultural and political mandate, expanding its scope of diversity and inclusion. “We see no separation between political and personal, between the issue and the aesthetic.” – Rahul Varma, Artistic Director, Teesri Duniya Theatre Donate Get Involved Help us tell the untold stories of those who are unseen and unheard.
