This book explores the processes of disfiguration in the 'classical' and 'ritual-healing' performances of India, with a particular focus on the rich and diverse performance traditions of Kerala. It examines three modes of disfiguration-'blood,' 'madness,' and 'laughter'-to offer unique insights into how these elements shape the performative body. By drawing on Kerala's distinctive cultural and ritual contexts, this work provides a deep understanding of the region's embodied practices. Written from an interdisciplinary perspective, the book blends performance studies with detailed ethnographic descriptions to capture the nuances of 'pain' and 'affect.' It challenges and subverts normative notions of performance, offering a fresh lens through which to view these dynamic traditions. This book serves as an invaluable resource for scholars of dance, performance studies, and practitioners seeking to explore the interplay between region, ritual, and disfiguration in Indian performance forms.
