Entertaining the nobility of India, her life was different from the other women around her. She had sexual agency, she was financially independent and most importantly- very skilled at her art, her music. History wasn't on her side and a lot of her life has been left out of the story of India, the story of our rich cultural heritage.
Through traditions, stories, laughter and memories- we gently nudge you towards the forgotten heritage, the music of the Gaanewalis. Popularly known as Tawaifs, nautch girls, prostitutes, sex workers, the world had forgotten their contribution to the forms of Ghazal, Thumri, Dadra and so on.
We're here to give you a small glimpse into the musical world of the Gaanewali.
Date: 23rd & 24th January 2021
Time: 7:00pm

About the Harkat Virtual Interactive Stage
Theatre – as imagined for proscenium and even informal performance spaces – is a communal, and very physical experience, for both performers and the audience. A truly ‘for the internet’ platform, where we have retrofitted the Harkat physical space with state of the art capturing and streaming equipment, interactive tools and a technical team on standby. The Harkat Virtual Interactive Stage is a new form of art, a new medium if you will, to audiences and directors alike. It’s not theatre, it’s not film, it’s not a cheap mid-way and it’s not trying to be like anything else.
Supported by the Goethe-Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan Mumbai.
