The Crisis in Theatre Ecology
A crisis that very much reflects the crisis in most human societies today, community is healed and strengthened through the Arts <3
Prasanna talks on The Contemporary Crisis in Theatre Ecology as part of the Azim Premji University Public Lecture Series
Nov 16, 2013
About the Talk:
Theatre is a game of falsehood which is played to help us understand truth. It is also designed to enhance communicative skills among human beings. It has become entertainment of late, machine made entertainment, to be more specific. By converting theatre into applied art, like television serials, cinema, advertisements, and internet programmes, we have brought an imbalance in the ecology of theatre. The talk will focus on the ecological as well as cultural implications of this development.
