AB  - Discusses significance of Lady Macbeth in jatra, eastern Indian Bengali folk-theatre tradition. Focuses on Vikram Iyenger’s theatre-dance production Crossings: Exploring the Facets of Lady Macbeth (2004), which features women performing four different aspects of Lady Macbeth through medium of Indian classical dance. Analyzes transgressive quality of all-female Indian theatre-dance performances, and shows how Iyenger’s production connects Lady Macbeth to women from Indian myth, such as Putana (demoness) and Shakti (sacred feminine). English summary, online.
