Description: Dr. Tarafder’s talk explores how multilingualism and intermediality shape Indian theatre. Drawing on examples from diverse regions and languages, it highlights how contemporary practitioners blend languages, media, and sensory modes—combining theatre with film, technology, and other disciplines—to create dynamic, collaborative, and transmedial forms of performance rooted in exchange and transformation.
