Annemari de Silva forges a discussion on the state’s adoption of censorship – in its legal and extra-legal usages – to discourage creative expression. Her study is focused on the way in which the Public Performance Board (PPB), the appointed body to screen performance categories such as film and theater for viewer suitability, has in practice almost always been a state arm in arresting artistic ventures to the government’s advantage; while withholding the portrayal of institutions such as the military in what it arbitrarily chooses as ‘themes of controversy’.
