ABOUT THE BOOK
:
The book traces contemporary Hindi theatre director, playwright and actor Bhanu Bharti’s life, thoughts, philosophy and vision. It portrays how his unending quest for an Indian theatre idiom and a new theatre language to express contemporary cultural crisis led him to the roots of Indian tribal theatre and the realms of folklore and myth. A detailed, well-aligned review of Bhanu’s stage productions, acting prowess, comprehension of stagecraft, application of the techniques and nuances drawn from world theatre at large and his deft handling of cast and crew contribute to this engaging portrayal of the thespian’s illustrious career spanning four decades.
