متن يادداشت

Even though the eruption of Shakespeare's Hamlet in everyday performative situations, Verities, and the Variable theatrical performative world is common, understood, and accepted over the centuries, the reasons for its return are not fully explored. Deciphering the mechanisms through which it has survived provide a good model for sprouting the contemporary theater of Pakistan. An overview or 'thinking' of its semiotic renditions into variegated forms, without analysis based on discrimination, helps in focusing upon some of the essentials that enable the performance text to survive through times. My work involves one such analysis. The objective of this study was to examine two questions: first, why does Hamlet constantly return in the contemporary performance? Second, is there a similar text, character or situation, in Pakistan through which we can structure the performance art of the country? To examine these questions, I explored the literary and performance texts of Hamlet as well as the literary theory, especially Affect Theory and Performance Philosophy. This study displayed a connection between history, culture, affect, and audience. In fact, I could link the Traditional Punjabi Performers of 'Vaar' or folk ballads with the performers affected by the strong history and culture based affective field of Hamlet. However, I found Vaari performers relied upon their voice and history based oral narrative and not on the text. This recognition suggests that Pakistan can build upon the historically popular oral narratives to frame its theater. I found that writers steeped in history and cultures of the country have already made such attempts. In future, theater of Pakistan may focus on developing, disrupting and re-performing these narratives. This dissertation highlighted the re-birth of the 'Vaari' as the means of reviving performance art in Pakistan.
