Dance like a Goddess
Theatre lovers, the wait is over. Here comes an extraordinary play about art, power, love and the stories that we choose to tell.
Written and directed by eminent Indian playwright Mahesh Dattani, the play revolves around an acclaimed Bharatnatyam traditional dancer Lata who is on the verge of retirement but has no one to carry her legacy forward. Her son is part of an anti-caste radical theatre group that is in direct conflict with her traditional Brahminical repertoire of dance as they struggle to keep their art alive in a changing political climate.
While her husband’s political career gains momentum, she witnesses her art being used as a political tool. Meanwhile, her son and his fiancé’s Dalit theatre movement is on the verge of being silenced. Lata must ally with her son and his fiancé to confront the God who seems possessed by the demon – and at what cost this will all be forms the rest of the play.
This is a production not to be missed!
