There is something about the adrenaline rush in a live performance that can make you do completely crazy things… it’s as if the character takes hold of you and pulls the strings.

A good drama experience can feed a child's heart, causing him or her to dwell in the infinite realm of wonder.

Everything is created through an actor’s body, voice and gesture. Without an actor, there is no creation in theatre.

What keeps META going is that it reaches the entire country and that it is an equal platform for everyone, whether you come from the absolute interiors to the high-end metro

I am so overwhelmed by the organisation and support for this kind of theatre. I wish it was there back when I had started theatre.
 

I think META is a wonderful festival. It seems to have a great network, as it continues to ferret out amazing directors working in the remotest parts of the country and brings them on the national stage.

META is unique. It is one of those festivals which looks after their artists even after being on such a distinguished level.

META is an amazing platform. This is my third time on the Jury, and I am only here because of the standard of the plays. The first time I came here, I was going Gaga after seeing the quality of the productions.

For me, META has been a very personal thing, right from the day it started. I love the organisation and I love the energy it brings, particularly for young people. I look forward to it year after year, and I am hoping that there will be much more theatre going on.

META is a great platform for new young groups, people doing different work, while also being a festival that promotes all our different languages and themes.

It's wonderful! What META is doing for theatre is very necessary to keep the art form alive and helping the new talents emerge and find footing as artists.

At META, we see that with very little money, fueled with a lot of passion and just imagination, a huge team of people is working because they want to create something wonderful.
