Description

Brecht in India examines how Bertolt Brecht's dramatic techniques and theatrical innovations shaped post-independence Indian drama, particularly within the Hindi-speaking regions from the 1960s to the 1990s. This Routledge study positions Indian theatre as a cultural palimpsest, where Western and Indian theatrical traditions engage in meaningful dialogue rather than existing as isolated traditions. The book analyses the dissemination and adaptation of Brecht's plays across the Hindi belt, demonstrating how his work provided both aesthetic and ideological frameworks that enabled modern Hindi playwrights to develop new artistic vocabularies. By exploring this cross-cultural theatrical exchange, the study reveals how Brecht's influence contributed to the evolution of contemporary Indian drama whilst maintaining its distinct cultural identity and dramatic sensibilities.
