Abstract: | While poking into the facadeof the performance of body, the present dissertation receives its critical insight through the seminal ideas of Kapila Vatsayan,Conquergood, Turner, Grotowski, Schechner andet.al. The present research worklocates body as the site for theatricality of the performance inBode Jatra, exclusively the performativity of the tongue- piercing as an expression of cosmogonicconsciousness. It incorporatesthe movement of the body both from micro and macro aspect whichconstitutesthetheatrical culmination.The body in Bode Jatraturns into the liminal space that transcends the corporeal world to create space into the world of spirits, and returns dawning with newness, thereby evoking the sense and sensibility of theatricality. |
