Performances this year

Sva Kranti by Mallika Sarabhai

In this intensely personal performance Mallika Sarabhai uses multimedia, theatre, music and dance to trace the journey of women seekers of truth and to contextualize them in the world today. In an imagined conversation with Mahatma Gandhi, Mallika Sarabhai traverses the lives of women who have struggled non-violently with truth through the ages, questioning the relevance of this path today.
