This is the first volume to focus specifically on Rabindranath
Tagore's dramatic literature, visiting translations and adaptations
of Tagore's drama, and cross-cultural encounters in his works. As
Asia's first Nobel Laureate, Tagore's highly original plays occupy
a central position in the Indian theatrescape. Tagore experimented
with dance, music, dance drama, and plays, exploring concepts of
environment, education, gender and women, postcolonial encounters,
romantic idealism, and universality. Tagore's drama plays a
generous host to experimentations with new performance modes, like
the writing and staging of an all-women play on stage for the first
time, or the use of cross-cultural styles such as Manipuri dance,
Thai craft in stage design, or the Baul singing styles. This book
is an exciting re-exploration of Tagore's plays, visiting issues
such as his contribution to Indian drama, drama and environment,
feminist readings, postcolonial engagements, cross-cultural
encounters, drama as performance, translational and adaptation
modes, the non-translated or the non-translatable Tagore drama,
Tagore drama in the 21st century, and Indian film. The volume
serves as a wide-ranging and up-to-date resource on the criticism
of Tagore drama, and will appeal to a range of Theatre and
Performance scholars as well as those interested in Indian theatre,
literature, and film.
