Politics, Experiments, Intentionality and Artistic Integrity In the
Theatre – A Marxist Aesthetic Approach
While largely a physical and spiritual pursuit, my study and practice of theatre has been a long time in the making and I would be remiss to disclude the more academic expression of my art and politics. For this reason, I’m herein enclosing a copy of my Final Masters’ Thesis (titled above) which has been a guiding force in all my work in the arts thus far.
You can find a copy of my complete thesis essay (2013) here.
n.b. For those interested, my thesis is appended by an interview with theatre practitioner Ojas SV regarding her brilliant politico-theatrical work “Le Mashale” which portrays the steadfast hunger strike of activist Irom Sharmila against the state’s usage of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act in Manipur."
