This book examines folk theatres of North India as a unique performative structure, a counter stream to the postulations of Sanskrit and Western realistic theatre. In focusing on their historical, social and cultural imprints, it explores how these theatres challenge the linearity of cultural history and subvert cultural hegemony. The book looks at diverse forms of theatre such as svangs, nautanki, tamasha, all with conventions like open performative space, free mingling of spectators and actors, flexibility in roles and genres, etc. It discusses the genesis, history and the independent trajectory of folk theatres; folk theatre and Sanskrit dramaturgy; cinematic legacy; and theatrical space as performance besides investigating causes, inter-relations within socio-cultural factors, and the performance principles underlying them. It shows how these theatres effectively contest delimitation of human creative impulses (as revealed in classical Sanskrit theatre) from structuring as also of normative impulses of religion and culture, while amalgamating influences from Western theatre, newly-rising religious reform movements of 19th century India, tantra and Bhakti. It further highlights their ability to adapt and reinvent themselves in accordance with spatial and temporal transformations to constitute an important anthropological layer of Indian society. Comprehensive and empirically rich, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of cultural studies, theatre, film and performance studies, sociology, political studies, popular culture, and South Asian studies.

This book concerns the foundation and development of the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, which has recently celebrated 50 years of performances. Also called 'Siamsa Tíre', it examines the ways in which the Theatre provides a locus for promoting and transmitting customary knowledge that had become lost due to modernisation and urbanisation. It also interrogates critically the role of the Theatre in presenting and representing local traditions to non-local audiences, tourism being a key component in the sustainable continuation of expressive culture.The book addresses three issues. First, it considers performance practice at the Theatre with reference to embodiment and identity. Second, it looks at cultural transmission at the Theatre from the perspectives of preservation and perpetuation. Here, it highlights the innovative aspiration (at the time) towards sustainable development where the traditional (as performing arts) was framed within the non-traditional (as staged folklore) to offer a radical model for cultural curatorship and economic regeneration. Third, it observes the Theatre from the vantages of power and politics. That is, the book evaluates the ideological issues and philosophical problems that arise when viewing 'Siamsa Tíre' as staged folklore, a dramatic medium that has often been employed at a global level to promote either international accord or intranational dissent. The work was developed in close collaboration with the founder and artistic director, Pat Ahern, and the performing company. Many contributors to this volume have studied and worked with the work of the company for many years. The volume also benefits for the insights of performers and management personnel.
