Theatre and Religion on Krishna s Stage examines the history and
form of India's ras lila folk theatre, and discusses how this
theatre functions as a mechanism of worship and spirituality among
Krishna devotees in India. From analyses of performances and
conversations with performers, audience, and local scholars, Mason
argues that ras lila actors and audience alike actively assume
roles that locate them together in the spiritual reality that the
play represents. Correlating Krishna devotion and theories of
religious experience, this book suggests that the emotional
experience of theatrical fiction may arise from the propensity of
audiences to play out roles of their own through which they share a
performance's reality.
