This volume explores the constitutive role played by space in the
performance of Kutiyattam. The only surviving form of Sanskrit
theatre, Kutiyattam is distinctive in terms of its performance
conventions and its unique culture of extensive elaboration and
interpretation. Drawing upon the concepts of phenomenology on the
processes of perception, particularly on the works of Edmund
Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, it analyses
the role of space in the communicative structures of performance of
Kutiyattam and its contribution to the production of meaning in
theatre, especially in the context of contemporary theatre. The
book explores the theatrical event as a phenomenon that comes into
existence through a triangular relationship among the ‘ways of
being’ of the performers, the ‘ways of seeing’ of the
audience, and the space which brings them together. Based on this
formulation, Kutiyattam is approached as a ‘theatre of
elaboration,’ made possible by the ‘intimate,’ ‘proximal’
ways of seeing of the audience, in the particular theatrical space
of the kūttampalaṃs, the temple theatres, where Kutiyattam has
customarily been performed for more than five centuries. This
volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of
cultural studies, theatre and performance studies, cultural
anthropology, phenomenology and South Asian studies.
