Samenvatting

Poetics, Plays, and Performances addresses the political and aesthetic concerns of modern Indian theatre, tracing its genealogies and looking, in particular, at its appropriation of 'folk' theatre, as it sought to constitute itself anew after Independence. The book focuses on the politics of modern Indian theatre, particularly the action and reaction inspired by official policy-making in the capital of the nation as well as its international representation.
