In this essay, the writer discusses some of the fundamental concepts associated with theatre—space, material, conventions of performance, forms and spectatorship. Following Michel Foucault’s idea of genealogy as palimpsest, she draws up a non-linear history of theatre in India to highlight how various traditions and productions have worked around these key notions.
