2. Question
1 pointsCategory: HistoryThe Natya Shashtra is a notable ancient treatise influencing dance, music and literary traditions in India. It is notable for its aesthetic “Rasa theory”.
What does the theory assert?
Correct
It asserts that entertainment is a desired effect of performance arts but not the primary goal, and that the primary goal is to transport the individual in the audience into another parallel reality, full of wonder, where he experiences the essence of his own consciousness, and reflects on spiritual and moral questions. This is similar to the Sufi’s views on music, chanting and its spiritual potential to connect with the divine.
