Rahul Bishnoi
Playwright and researcher
France has been central to my professional research career as a scholar. I aim to take inspiration from Julien Gracq’s geographical works and write a two-dimensionally stretched theatre text that performs the essence of a city.
Rahul Bishnoi is an artist-scholar specializing in Performance Studies and Philosophy, using theatre to explore urban space.
