Cherian, who earned her PhD from New York University, is Associate Professor in the School of Culture and Creative Expressions at Ambedkar University in Delhi, where her research focuses on cultural policy, dance studies, and theatre history. Bharadwaj, a theatre scholar and practitioner with a PhD from Central University of Hyderabad, is Associate Professor of the Practice at Jindal Global University in Sonipat. In this 2019 article, the authors consider recent performances that call attention to the problem of sexual violence in Indian society. In a highly mediatized culture, they suggest, live performance can be a form of resistance to the relentless cycle of news that can lead to the disappearance or forgetting of marginalized persons. By deploying embodied and analogue performance practices, artists attempt to disrupt the media’s tendency toward disappearance, enacting a kind of productive disobedience that challenges the dominant culture.
