Documentary Theatre in India: Assembling Publics, Performing Politics

As much as documentary theatre in India captures realities in its own way, its practices and histories have been understudied. Set against India’s contested political landscape, where legal documents determine one’s life, the contributors to this volume highlight the relevance of documentary theatre, challenge dominant concepts and offer new frameworks for understanding its cultural significance. Essays, conversations, and creative contributions from renowned scholars and artists from India and beyond are completed with practical theatre exercises – making this volume a vital resource for academics and anyone interested in the potential of theatre.
