Zuleikha Chaudhuri

Zuleikha Chaudhari is a theatre director and lighting designer based in New Delhi and Mumbai, India.

[7] She continued this style of site-specific installation and performance art with her next project, 'On Seeing', based on Haruki Murakami's short story, On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning, presented in 2008 at Khoj Studios, New Delhi[4][8] and different theatre festivals and at Essl Museum, Vienna in 2010.

[8][9] Set in three rooms at Khoj Studios, New Delhi, this performance required the audience to move with the actors.

Her next project, 'Propositions: On text and Space', a take-off from her earlier stage production, 'Some Stage Directions for Henrik Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman', developed in collaboration with Khoj Studios' Artist Residency programme in 2010, does away with the actors and is translated through space and texts from the play.

Devoid of any performers, the installation of the play, investigates the nature of narrative in text, sound, space and light.

The group has produced works such as Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, Virginia Woolf's Orlando and their very own, The Mahabharata Project.
