About Nirbhay Kumar Trigun
Nirbhay Kumar Trigun is a theatre practitioner and cultural thinker, deeply committed to exploring the relationship between art, society, and human behavior. Born in Buxar, Bihar, India in 1996, he brings a grassroots perspective to the discourse of Indian theatre and cultural development.
His work is characterized by a commitment to making theatre accessible and meaningful beyond the stage — as a tool for education, social transformation, and cultural preservation.
The Vision Behind IFTRD
Nirbhay founded IFTRD with the conviction that India's rich theatrical traditions — from classical Sanskrit drama to folk theatre forms like Nautanki, Jatra, Tamasha, and Koodiyattam — deserve not just preservation but active contemporary engagement.
IFTRD represents his effort to build a platform where artists and researchers from all backgrounds can come together, share their work, and collectively advance the field of theatre and the arts.
“Art is not just what we create — it is how we understand ourselves and each other. IFTRD is a space for that understanding to flourish.”
