- 요약In this dissertation, I examine specific performances by contemporary practitioners of Indian theatre that employ an intermedial form. Within theatre studies, intermediality has been defined in terms of the effect of digital technology on theatre. In the context of Indian theatre, I identify new forms of intermediality by studying linguistic, formal, sensory, and transmedial interactions through theatre within the work of contemporary practitioners. These practitioners employ a collaborative and devised process of creation with people from diverse artistic and cultural backgrounds. Practices of intermediality in Indian theatre include the combination of multiple languages and forms of performance, communication through multiple sensory modalities, incorporating digital technology on stage, and combining theatre with other artistic and non-artistic disciplines. Narratives and forms travel and transform between multilingual theatre and film in India, demonstrating transmedial connections between these forms.In my introductory chapter, I contextualize the practices of intermediality within the history of Indian theatre by discussing specific practitioners and performances. I explore how these practitioners employ intermediality to stage political interventions, challenging hierarchies that structure artistic practice in India. In Chapter 2, I discuss performances by Habib Tanvir and Naya Theatre, a group based in Bhopal, who use an intermedial form that combines diverse languages and forms to stage interventions against mechanisms of precarization such as industrial pollution and right-wing censorship. I focus on the performances Zehreeli hawa (Poisonous Wind, 2002), a trilingual adaptation of Rahul Varma's Bhopal (2003), and Ponga pandit (Idiot Pandit, 1992), a nacha performance that satirizes casteism and religious fundamentalism. My third chapter examines transmedial connections between multilingual theatre and film. I discuss Indianostrum's performance Chandala, the Impure (2018), the documentary film Janani's Juliet (2019) by Pankaj Rishi Kumar, and Pa Ranjith's Tamil film Natchathiram nagargiradhu (A Star Shoots Across the Sky, 2022), all of which were created at Indianostrum theatre in Pondicherry. These works embed folk performances, reflect on practices of theatre and film-making, and illustrate the transformation of narratives across different media, showcasing both continuity and contradiction in interpretations of caste. In Chapter 4, I examine intermediality within the performances of The Company, Chandigarh, directed by Neelam Mansingh Chowdhry, that communicate through the multiplication and innovative combination of sense perceptions. I analyze Chowdhry's recent performance Trunk Tales (2022) through the lens of Sarah Ahmed's framework of queer phenomenology to reveal how the performance foregrounds trunks as objects that evoke specters of the Partition of 1947. My final chapter discusses the varying intermedial forms of Zuleikha Chaudhari's performances that combine artistic and non-artistic disciplines. I focus on her series of performances Rehearsing the Witness: The Bhawal Court Case (2014-2018) and Landscape as Evidence: Artist as Witness (2017-2023), which lie at the intersection of theatre and law and activate audiences' capacity for aesthetic judgment.The performances that I discuss in this dissertation use an intermedial form to challenge accepted perceptions and provide a new way of looking at specific issues. These performances employ linguistic, cultural, formal, and technological forms of intermediality to disrupt hierarchies that structure aesthetic forms in India, including caste, language, location, religion, and media type. By examining intermediality in the works of contemporary Indian theatre practitioners, this study proposes new frameworks for understanding linguistic, formal, sensorial, and transmedial interactions within theatre. I argue for an expansive definition of intermediality that can be an effective framework for studying innovative and experimental artforms in diverse multilingual and multicultural contexts.
