Tughlaq - A play by Girish Karnad

The everyday public spaces are experienced as standardized spaces in terms of how design is executed with similar conditions and explorations. E.g. even a visit to a historical monument brings identical experiences in the matter in which the spaces are explored or seen. The conventional theatre space is also appears to be a standardized space when seen from the different plays which has to explore their contents within the same space. Taking into consideration the ongoing influence of standardization in a daily life how design can bring variations within its set deliverables. Here, Tughlaq brings two different discipline together such as theatre stage and Sarkhej Roza with their conventional set of experiences to experiment with design ideas so as not to extend beyond the set boundaries of this disciplines but to draw limitations and enjoy variations within. The play seems to highlight what were the similar conditions the characters were subjected to and the similar spaces common to their performances. But the similarities were characterized with each character and with minute traits contributed in differentiating or highlighting the intentions hence the objects in play only authorize what is similar or different.
