The Khasi Theatre: A Semiotic Study of the Nongkrem Dance Festival

Prabodh Jhingan (Author)

Synopsis The Nongkerm Dance festival is one of the most important symbols of the Khasi identity. The Khasis from the north-east part of India have been celebrating this five day annual event for centuries. Dr P. Jhingan has made a detailed semiotic study of this festival after his research for 15 years and has theorized it to be a theatrical performance.
