BHAGI HUI LADKIYAN (Official Selection and Special Jury Awardee at META 2019) is a devised ensemble piece, made for intimate spaces- both real and imaginary. These stories that begin on a random day are first hand retellings of day-to-day life in Nizamuddin Basti.
The spectator is invited to enter the performer's world through the everydayness of the narrative. The stories emphasize how gender and sexuality plays out in the lives of the four actors. Conversations about family, trust, consent, personal space and gender dynamics begin to surface.
The performance attempts to highlight the contrast between the confining yet comfortable quality of the home space, and the liberating aspects of the outside world. The stories told, of course, change and evolve with the journey of the performers through time.
