Professor Dhananjay Singh, of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, will present "Ancient Indian Theatre Traditions and their Representation in Contemporary Bollywood" at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14, in Lawson Lecture Hall, Bucksbaum Center for the Arts, Room 152.

In a free, public talk, Singh will present the Indian perspective on the relationship between art and reality, and will emphasize the various exchanges between the two in theatre.

Drawing upon the pre-modern (non-modern) philosophy and aesthetics in India, Singh will argue that the relationship between art and reality is that of coexistence, without subordination of either to the other.

Singh is an International Visiting Fellow, and his visit is sponsored by the Center for International Studies.
