Ballad of Desires is an evocative dance theatre piece that retells stories of women from Indian mythology- stories of those women who were told not to desire or who were punished harshly for desiring. Taken from scriptures like Ramayan, Mahabharat, Upnishads and even folk mythology, the play presents tragic tales of women like Ahalya, Ruchi, Renuka, Rambha, Menaka and Hirapath.
These vignettes from mythology run parallel to the play’s probing of the enigma called desire. Using the spectacular dance movements of Pasodoble, Bharatnatyam, Butoh, Salsa and Contemporary dance, the play looks at the complexity and ambiguity of desires, while featuring select poems of Khalil Jibran, Pablo Neruda, Maya Angelou and Hafiz. Light-hearted, visually stunning and poignant, Ballad of Desires is a sure treat to all the senses of spectators.
