1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:09,720
They now request our first presenter of this station, Madhuri Dixit, who will be speaking on circulation for intervention,

2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:17,400
the comic The Folk and the Democracy in Marathi Theatre Moderate the floor is yours.

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:32,970
Thank you, sir. And hello, everybody. I will be reading out my paper and I will also be sharing my screen to show some visuals as the need arises.

4
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:41,830
So the paper here is titled Adds to circulation for Dimension, the comic, the folk and the democratic in I.

5
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:52,830
Here there is a range of ideas and imagination that is wrong, and very of life degrades the human connexion in performance.

6
00:00:52,830 --> 00:01:02,550
Theatre manifests in a circularity in the sense that every performance of the actual production, which is an independent living in principle,

7
00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:11,520
it makes it not merely repeats the original design of that performance in both actuality and differentiated,

8
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,590
including its performative aspects, can also be perceived as inaction.

9
00:01:16,590 --> 00:01:23,670
Connecticut. Here are also why this is the kind of external circularity in the sense of being a cultural

10
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:29,850
site that connects with the larger material life by drawing on its historical and cultural,

11
00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:37,430
political philosophical aspects for performing human emotion and action.

12
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:48,950
Further or specific type of theatre may be identified with a specific kind of circulation or index type of presentation and or content, for instance,

13
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:57,980
as suggested by the famous nomenclature drawing room to bring that historically from the commercial urban proscenium

14
00:01:57,980 --> 00:02:07,460
theatre for its thematic emphasis on the middle class life and typical importance given to the written text of the play.

15
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:15,260
However, during the last three decades, it is increasingly observed that there have been some outliers plays in Marathi

16
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:21,230
theatre that embody different kinds of circulation than the conventional one.

17
00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:25,820
Such plays identify what their relevance.

18
00:02:25,820 --> 00:02:32,960
Representation of spatial and specific social sections. And that particular outlook on life amongst them.

19
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:41,210
Mumbai based theatre that active playwright and actor Santosh the last popular productions stand out basically for their

20
00:02:41,210 --> 00:02:49,310
use of force to advance from the conclusion their deviation from the standard Marathi language and their hilarious,

21
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:56,960
somewhat identified stylistic and critical batch of popular figures and musical effects.

22
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:07,190
I would like to examine two of his plays, namely that could actually and had echoed that if the returns produced with the gospel 20 years in which we

23
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:16,280
understand the huge circulation has been put to in the new cultural conversation that the police have initiated.

24
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:24,270
It is important to note the timing of initiating this new cultural and political conversation in the first place.

25
00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:33,960
Yeah, that's a you opened in 1999 on the background of the rise of Hitler as a recognisable cultural and political force.

26
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Everyday life had started showing signs of intolerance fuelled by religious ferocity.

27
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:48,120
It was obvious that the model that was then stripped of their divinity and grandeur and made to confront

28
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:55,850
challenges of life in unceremonious ways and accompanied by contemporary popular public figures like Read

29
00:03:55,850 --> 00:04:04,370
Up on the Shango smuggler and they in the past WTO of Bollywood wanted to invite the wrath of the cultural

30
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:12,020
police shows were forcefully stopped by pressurising the authorities sloganeering in the auditoriums,

31
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:17,540
radicalised by exploiting low intensity bombs in and around the auditoriums.

32
00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:25,730
Nevertheless, the production saw 4500 successful shows before stopping the events of ActionScript

33
00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:32,720
guns was created to relieve the elderly electrical moment of fun and popularity,

34
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:40,190
and with the invention to make the specific kind of creativity available for the posterity,

35
00:04:40,190 --> 00:04:46,420
fashion pushed tells us in one of these interviews that is available on the YouTube.

36
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:54,400
It coincided with the re-election of the right wing, aggressive candidate to the same group in 2019,

37
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:01,480
grabbing for the second time, boosting the confidence of the fundamentalist majority.

38
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,580
And say goodbye and neglected minorities in political and social ways,

39
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:15,910
questioned by the earlier RV of Culture Championship, a lot of wanted to avoid any controversial references.

40
00:05:15,910 --> 00:05:24,990
His compromises are apparent in the play in downfall or mission of the big characters and of direct political comments.

41
00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:28,880
Yet the shadow of that production looms large on the new play.

42
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:37,630
Political devices and in visual presentation or mission of epic characters in the new play did not necessarily mean

43
00:05:37,630 --> 00:05:46,300
losing a reference to his previous pain of the rivalry between beggars because the game repeats itself in the new play.

44
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:52,840
But lyrics to a different sociopolitical issue and thus maintaining the inner

45
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:58,670
circularity for the inner circulation in the place of the epic fanatically,

46
00:05:58,670 --> 00:06:03,670
I still believe, mobilised another commodity from the world of entertainment,

47
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:13,720
namely the blockbuster celluloid and the story of two brothers who by the end will now be fighting for version of The Mighty Mighty Kingdom.

48
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:22,180
While that explanation that the world returns in the title is not an old reposition or extension of the earlier content,

49
00:06:22,180 --> 00:06:31,630
but the form and style implies the kind of circulation the critic can look for in the shared space, only to please.

50
00:06:31,630 --> 00:06:37,010
Rather than asking a provocative question like the one he asked you that could achieve.

51
00:06:37,010 --> 00:06:47,880
And the question was why does truth conquered in the end? What about who is responsible for the sufferings people undergo in the time of truth?

52
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:58,230
Well, I prefer to call attention to the plight of farmers in Ecuador guns and raise the question of their size is not everything to be.

53
00:06:58,230 --> 00:07:04,380
But now those engagement with private speaking just following his defeat in the war.

54
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:09,930
Ngozi Adichie, in that sense of the cultural conversation, started by belives.

55
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:20,550
Please leave it in the examination of what the comics title and one of the please try to achieve, albeit inadvertently.

56
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:25,650
Otherwise, it is easy to dismiss them as slapstick comedies and nothing more.

57
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:31,860
I guess some of the criticism has already done. This is not to suggest that everything is going to be wise,

58
00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:40,410
and strategy pleases the audiences during the performances, and there is much that is disorganised and unsavoury.

59
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:51,360
But what a catch. I think have been shown is the reinvention of the political conventional folk dance like no one can find out that.

60
00:07:51,360 --> 00:08:00,060
Deprived of their inherent actuality, they are established as complete moral corruptions on the commercial proscenium stage.

61
00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:10,380
During this process of reorientation as entertainment, the critical potential of the Commons relates importantly to the ability of seeing

62
00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:17,160
the contradictions many of us and Vortex experienced in everyday situations.

63
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:23,640
It originates from the tendency to have very commonsensical relationship with the divine.

64
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:34,840
The awe inspiring and the mystical resulting in humanising and be massively jazzing extraordinary characters and situations in the world.

65
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,380
And I feel far from the play.

66
00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:46,050
Santosh the latter plays on these very characteristics of folk forms and takes the artistic liberties of regaining the form,

67
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:50,650
but changing the content based on his campaign.

68
00:08:50,650 --> 00:08:59,550
But horrendous, unique mobility on the select historical figures, difficult characters and even contemporary celebrities.

69
00:08:59,550 --> 00:09:10,860
And they traverse their respective time lines together in theatrical situations that can be identified as relevant to the contemporary times.

70
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:14,490
This does not mean that cannot be contextualises them,

71
00:09:14,490 --> 00:09:24,510
since they do bring in their own spatial and temporal references and carry their original parameters and Typekit instead of ghosts.

72
00:09:24,510 --> 00:09:36,240
Nevertheless, the storyboard is so thin that there are scenes no story in the conventional sense in both the plays only the of bizarre journey,

73
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:46,590
replete with myriad pretentious comic situations and political scientists seeing the arrival of a social message in the end of the play.

74
00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:52,110
This all beauty is relished more by the iconic and politically informed audiences,

75
00:09:52,110 --> 00:09:58,580
while the uninitiated ones may let some of the challenges simply glide from the last.

76
00:09:58,580 --> 00:10:05,910
However, unlike the stereotypical Marathi typical emphases on the stability of the written word,

77
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:14,190
and unlike the stilted kind of melodrama I am things that I don't mean until this kind of melodrama of contrived

78
00:10:14,190 --> 00:10:21,990
gestures and loud and clichéd verbiage of the proscenium stage space that's made and described in an article.

79
00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:26,990
Everything in the last place literally appears to be on the more.

80
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:32,900
While actors enter and exit from the stage, jumping, singing and dancing continually,

81
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:39,860
various timelines intersect and references to the political and dysfunction lie all over,

82
00:10:39,860 --> 00:10:46,670
keeping the performances ever in motion by making new meanings to develop continuously.

83
00:10:46,670 --> 00:10:53,000
Logic is hard to find in this pitch, like Haiti collage for people and situations.

84
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,030
Both the productions do ask for a kind of surrender in openness and readiness

85
00:10:59,030 --> 00:11:04,430
from the audiences to be led in any direction wherever the please wish to be,

86
00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:09,620
then. Nevertheless, that it is fresh, hilarious and enjoyable,

87
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:14,210
mainly because of the excellent sense of timing kept by the actors and the

88
00:11:14,210 --> 00:11:19,790
political meanings provoked by dialogues under the name of theatre performance.

89
00:11:19,790 --> 00:11:28,010
What we actually have is an exciting mix of rigorous physical energy humour and which of the folk infused

90
00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:37,550
with choreographed and rested proscenium with this kind of introduction to the place of something shall.

91
00:11:37,550 --> 00:11:47,580
Let me just share the presentation with the participants.

92
00:11:47,580 --> 00:12:03,980
That I intend to show off your visuals. To make sense of my analysis.

93
00:12:03,980 --> 00:12:09,470
So let's have some illustrations now to elaborate this title presentation of these, please.

94
00:12:09,470 --> 00:12:14,840
I'm to understand the kinds of commodities that quote unquote commodities that fall

95
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:21,440
out of someone's from the artistic and material would to be circulated in his plays.

96
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:28,940
So here I'm going to show, I think, for slaves one by one from the first lady and I go back.

97
00:12:28,940 --> 00:12:34,100
I hope the presentation is shared. With the participants.

98
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:53,870
Can you see the presentation, somebody please tell me? Okay, so the first duty of a prisoner who is going to act as a go between the now and the year?

99
00:12:53,870 --> 00:13:03,560
On the left hand side, we see a kind of hysteria that fiction usually found on the walls of campus or some religious meetings like

100
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:14,210
that where we see that Kushner is sleeping and the him and I think people are waiting for the snap to wake up.

101
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:27,350
Now the same thing is repeated here in the play, but we I would urge you to notice the Gandhi gap that Kushner is batting in this particular visual.

102
00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:37,550
The next visual shows to picture the left side picture is a general kind of pictorial depiction of the

103
00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:46,820
Mahabharata war that we see that Kushner is blowing the conch and Arjun is sitting in the chariot.

104
00:13:46,820 --> 00:13:56,720
The same thing happens in the play, but here I would also like to call your attention to the carnage because this is not very elegant.

105
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:12,570
It is a kind of contact we find. There or, you know, in the coffee shops and the particular part which she's.

106
00:14:12,570 --> 00:14:22,110
It is a kind of musical instrument which is given to children for play and.

107
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:27,050
And. I think it's in the air.

108
00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:40,690
So, you know, undermining the.

109
00:14:40,690 --> 00:15:01,430
Fired. Well.

110
00:15:01,430 --> 00:15:13,170
So to be with best. So this.

111
00:15:13,170 --> 00:15:20,060
It's. Mixed blessing, they go at it,

112
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:27,980
not from the movie being and another instance similarity between words like similarity between words, dogs and political jokes.

113
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:36,860
For example, Bushnell spent the India Asia calling not to come out on the stage quickly without even wearing the tigers.

114
00:15:36,860 --> 00:15:47,780
And there is a deliberate eagle off the name a whole mythical leader allocation money which is conveyed across just through the formal inflexion.

115
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:56,900
Similarly, Gendry can, for some names, make fun of the words and started developing mundane commodities like fish on the soap or the loudspeaker.

116
00:15:56,900 --> 00:16:09,170
That's going to happen, but he is also going to get into a movie scene transfers into a mundane, everyday market experience, find places like Boris,

117
00:16:09,170 --> 00:16:15,740
have connexions and memories causing unimaginable characters to meet to get your imagination started

118
00:16:15,740 --> 00:16:23,480
in products like songs from the cinematic world constitute a noticeable device in the last teaser now.

119
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:29,370
Take a pause over here. I would like to show just.

120
00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:38,010
One entry, one we do here, I go, Oh, oh, oh, oh no.

121
00:16:38,010 --> 00:16:52,810
This is from me. That's right. That's right. Oh, what about what are you?

122
00:16:52,810 --> 00:17:06,870
I think both us of this, I thought, oh one, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my god.

123
00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:16,890
Oh my, oh my god.

124
00:17:16,890 --> 00:17:25,050
Oh well, we know that you know all of it.

125
00:17:25,050 --> 00:17:48,610
OK, so the point to be noted in this video was the use of a song from a film, which is kind of imposed on my entry and entertainment is enhanced, but.

126
00:17:48,610 --> 00:18:00,240
The. Of.

127
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:11,490
But if you can, you provide scope to ample physical movements and do associations with commonplace experiences that generate copy laughter.

128
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:19,140
In fact, searching for intricacies of transformation of representation from the outside world into the

129
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:26,790
theatrical world is very blessed to be us to think about the objects scrambled good practises,

130
00:18:26,790 --> 00:18:34,590
commodities and images that circulate and or linger in public imagination for longer periods.

131
00:18:34,590 --> 00:18:40,230
What associations do that you, and how good are the presentations? Get more acquainted boxing guides.

132
00:18:40,230 --> 00:18:46,020
How are there specific configurations affected due to social profiles of individuals who,

133
00:18:46,020 --> 00:18:51,240
or what defies imagination, represent when he chooses to come across?

134
00:18:51,240 --> 00:19:00,500
These questions deserve political attention, but I'm afraid they'll find no analytical skills because of their time constraint.

135
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:04,820
Yeah, so just give you one minute and I've just completed my people here.

136
00:19:04,820 --> 00:19:09,590
The comprehensive question, but I would like to address by the way of our analysis,

137
00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:17,390
is about the role of circulation plays in the notion of contemporary cultural conversation appearing in Madagascar.

138
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:22,070
Is it different from circulation in other places with reference to Appalachia?

139
00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:31,640
I find their circulation, its intervention in Canada by successfully relocating the to the shelter and guidance,

140
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:39,140
along with bank body language in the mainstream commercial in Canada. But what has diversified and therefore democratised Typekit?

141
00:19:39,140 --> 00:19:42,860
The evidence is to be found in the emergence of new skills of acting,

142
00:19:42,860 --> 00:19:51,170
as well as new actors from varied backgrounds and the consequent diversification of the social profile of future audiences,

143
00:19:51,170 --> 00:19:54,620
particularly in terms of cost and class.

144
00:19:54,620 --> 00:20:02,420
So the theatrical line-up could achieve any objective that becomes had in what has invited different ideas of life,

145
00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:08,630
mortality and entertainment and created different kinds of maladies secrecy.

146
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:18,140
The entire exercise executed in the sheer space of the two plays in this context does not simply circulate knowledge but create event knowledge.

147
00:20:18,140 --> 00:20:26,900
We do, and we don't pick up on performances under scrutiny. The primary function of circulation may be recognised as generation of comic laughter,

148
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:32,920
