Tughlaq : By Girish Karnad

The way In which the theater is performed follows conventions and sets boundaries within which exploration are limited. In the interior design discipline theater stage design could be perceived as expansion of its boundaries by generating a system within which theater can be performed by involving various other disciplines such as history, architecture, urban design, planning, landscape and so on.
The play Tughlaq is imagined to be stationed in the historical setting of Sarkhej Roza Ahmedabad for a continuous viewing for a period. The stage is designed by engaging interior design elements which respond to the co-existing situations occurring in the play as well as on the site which is Sarkhej Roza. The set of rules devised which forms a system helps to bring out different meanings structured through fixed and alternating arrangements.
