Experiments in Organic Theatre
Gopika, S.; Eldhose, A. Y.
Research in Drama Education, v25 n4 p543-547 2020
This article describes and explains the development of 'organic theatre', a theatre form that blends art and agriculture, developed in Kerala, South India. This theatre is an info-tainment medium that provides information about agrarian activities and entertainment by employing folk and regional artefacts in an interactive theatre space. Organic theatre responds to global issues concerning climate change and environmental crisis. As a political form of interactive art, it attempts to make an impact upon the audience. For this, the organic theatre described here devised a character 'Kadamban Moothan' -- who became central to the way this new mode of theatre raised awareness.
