Dance Double Bill

This performance by Inara is an outcry, a rebellion . A rebellion for the countless women whose pain has been tucked away into the void of ‘injustice’.

Through every step, they scream. Through every movement, they mourn. They dance for the justice that never comes, for the broken trust in a system that should protect. Join us in art and solidarity as we honour their strength and their lost legacies. This is our rage. This is our grief.

The story untold: Yagnaseni

In the rich tapestry of Indian mythology, Draupadi stands as an iconic figure of strength, resilience, and grace. Her story is one of unwavering courage, endurance, and the indomitable spirit of a woman who faced countless trials and tribulations yet emerged as a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.

Through the magic of dance (nritya) and drama (abhinaya), we embark on a riveting journey into the heart and soul of Draupadi – a woman whose significance extends far beyond her beauty and royal lineage. We will witness her untold saga, her triumphs, her sorrows, and her unyielding spirit that defied the odds. From the opulence of the swayamvara to the harrowing moments of the game of dice, every step and gesture on this stage will convey the essence of her journey.

Join us as we delve into the depths of Draupadi’s tale, celebrating her strength, grace, and the everlasting impact she has left on Indian mythology. We hope this performance will ignite the flames of inspiration within your hearts, leaving you captivated by the unflinching spirit of Yajnaseni.
