520 _aThe phenomenon of contemporary theatre in Kerala, characterised by its activism, rejects the notion of “art for art’s sake” by reconsidering the alliance between form and content for propagandist and reformist use. This sociopolitical revolution was “staged,” particularly through the voices of Kathaprasangam artists such as V Sambasivan. Sambasivan’s performances of the “story-speech” were pedagogic and proved pivotal in democratising and lending a local idiom to “global” voices.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/33/commentary/staging-revolution-through-orality.html
