A quick post to share an item from the BBC Hindi service, about the growing experimentation with physical theatre in India. The report is from the The Bharat Rang Mahotsav International Theatre Festival of India which is in its 16th year and features a Butoh inspired piece, Maya II.
Physical theatre draws attention of theatre-lovers in India
Theatre in India has often been deeply traditional, using storylines, dialogue and song to reflect issues in society.
But over the last few years at the annual theatre festival held in Delhi, a different type of production has been gaining popularity.
Inspired by their international counterparts, Indian directors are experimenting with forms of physical theatre which use light, sound and body movements to tell the story.
