Can art ever be neutral when silence itself becomes political?

In this episode, we sit down with a young playwright and performer to explore the boundaries between art for art’s sake and art for life’s sake. Using her controversial debut play The Book of Sibyl as a lens, we discuss how theatre confronts power, faith, gender, justice, and truth — especially in societies where speaking can be dangerous and silence is often rewarded.

This conversation moves beyond performance into questions that matter: Who gets believed?

When does faith become a tool of control?

Can suffering be turned into truth?

And why does meaningful art so often make people uncomfortable?

A thoughtful, unfiltered discussion on literature, theatre, philosophy, and the responsibility of the artist in a politically charged world.
