The most transgressive of avant-garde artists, who almost flaunt their iconoclasm through their acts of self injury and assaults on the audience, are framed within the secular mechanisms of performance as more conventional artistes 'playing safe' with bourgeois aesthetic norms. For all the extremity of her performance, or, more precisely because of her fearless and obsessive embrace of multiple extremities, some of which are incorporated in her lying naked on blocks of ice shaped like cross, juxtaposed with the political symbol of the five point Communist star cut on the naked flesh of her abdomen, Abramovic exemplifies what Talal Asad has designated as the 'self owning human.' Such a 'human' can afford to wound her body for public scrutiny precisely because she owns her body as a form of property whose performance is ultimately protected by copyright.

Dutt and Alkazi followed the same trajectory, beginning with Shakespeare in the English language theatre catering to a small elite audience in the big cities, moving to European classics and contemporary plays before plunging into language theatre. Temperamentally and ideologically quite different both of them explored the potential of stage space in a manner that remains unemulated. While Alkazi went on to use the Delhi's Purana Quila for theatre Dutt changed the look of proscenium space in infinite variations with rostra, levels, screens, revolving discs used unconventionally as well as forms and structures used on stage.

From locked practice in the eighteenth century to being marked as classical 'music' in the twentieth, from princely courts to modern auditoriums. Music's content, which ranged from raucous and ribald to devotional, was rewritten into respectable fare. Music was viewed as one type of entertainment among many others in princely courts, but by the twentieth century, it had become a high art form that occupied pride of place in the national imagination. While its upper-level pedagogy remained dominated by hereditary musicians, it became possible even for respectable middle-class Hindu housewives to imagine themselves as performers.

The first performance of the Balinese theatre, which draws mainly on dancing, singing, pantomime and music - and very little on psychological theatre as we understand in Europe - restores the theatre to its level of pure and autonomous creation under the sign of hallucination and of fear. It is quite remarkable that the first of the short plays that make up the programs, which presents the admonishments of a father to a daughter who is rebelling against tradition, begins with an entrance of ghosts. The male and female characters who are going to serve the development of a dramatic but familiar subject appear to us first as personages in their spectral state, in that hallucinatory guise which is attribute of every theatrical character. [...] The drama does not develop as a conflicts of feelings but of states of mind, which are themselves ossified and reduced to gestures - to structures. In short, Balinese are carrying out with the utmost rigor the idea of pure theatre, in which everything, conception and realization alike, has value or existence only in terms of its degree of objectification on the stage.

We can only call a picture, or rather a color engraving, good if all the lines and colors are brought together into a unified whole. An artist would not make one single dot without a correlation with the general composition of the picture, just as a composer would never introduce a single note without the most elaborate artistic-mechanical calculations. This is the greatest achievement of Meyerhold in his Inspector-General, and on an unprecedented scale. The large stage remains unfilled in most instances (in some scenes it is used, but it does not pretend to be interesting); it is a large semicircle of polished wood with doors. The action is presented to the audience as if in a basket. A certain playing area, where objects and people act, is moved forward according to the director's will. This space is lit up accordingly (with great skill) and resembles a moving bunch of flowers or a most orderly kaleido-scope. The people and the objects follow one another continuously in the incessant dynamics, like color engravings. I contend that absolutely any moment of this large production photographed on a color still would be a finished work of art; I stress: finished to the very last detail."
