Exploring a Friendship between sita and draupadi
In a parallel universe, Sita and Draupadi chance upon each other amidst the flames that were so crucial to their stories.
Sita emerges unscathed from her agnipareeksha, while Draupadi is born as a full grown woman out of the ritualistic fire that was summoned to create her.
This fire is a metaphor for society: the society that moulds and labels these two iconic women.
Exploring a Friendship between Sita and Draupadi
How would Sita describe her abduction at the hands of Ravana?
Would Draupadi describe the Mahabharata differently if given the chance?
They are the two most powerful female figures in Hindu mythology, yet their perspective is often overlooked.
This dance-theatre production brings Sita and Draupadi face-to-face in a conversation about their lives, told through their voices.
A unique amalgamation of Bharatanatyam, contemporary dance and theatre, this performance takes you on an extraordinary journey as the two relive their stories through dialogue and dance.
