His research paper titled ‘Theatre in the Times of Technological Revolution’ was presented through video conferencing on the first day of the International Seminar.
In his research paper Kaul began by narrating his experience of watching, in April 2011, during the Europe Theatre Prize at St. Petersburg, two groundbreaking performances — Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’ by Vesturport and ‘Mr. Vertigo’ directed by Kristian Smeds — which showcased how technology can transform the theatrical experience. These plays highlighted the potential of integrating innovative tools into a live performance. Today, theatre faces both opportunities and challenges with advancements like Artificial Intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, digital streaming and holography, he said.
