Indian Folk Theatres is theatre anthropology as a lived experience,
containing detailed accounts of recent folk theatre shows as well
as historical and cultural context. It looks at folk theatre forms
from three corners of the Indian subcontinent: Tamasha, song and
dance entertainments from Maharastra Chhau, the lyrical dance
theatre of Bihar Theru Koothu, satirical, ritualised epics from
Tamil Nadu. The contrasting styles and contents are depicted with a
strongly practical bias, harnessing expertise from practitioners,
anthropologists and theatre scholars in India. Indian Folk Theatres
makes these exceptionally versatile and up-beat theatre forms
accessible to students and practitioners everywhere.
