part of the great cultural renaissance generated during the post-independence
period, there has occurred a most meaningful encounter with tradition in
various fields of creative activity. The return to and discovery of tradition
was inspired by a search for roots and a quest for identity. This was a part of
the whole process of decolonization of our lifestyle, values, social
institutions, creative forms and cultural modes. The modern Indian theatre,
product of a colonial theatrical culture, felt the need to search for roots
most intensely to match its violent dislocation from the traditional course.
Directors like B.V. karanth, K.N. Panikar and Ratan Thiyam have had a most
meaningful encounter with tradition and, with their work, have reversed the
colonial course of contemporary theatre and put it back on the track of the
great Natyashastra tradition. It sounds paradoxical, but their theatre is both
avant-garde in the context of conventional realistic theatre, and still belongs
to the Natyashastra theatrical tradition.
