Talki, a play created by Payana, brings together transwomen from various walks of life - activists, writers, mothers, and community leaders. All of them have one thing in common: they are over the age of 55 and are experienced with romance, survival and the human fight for dignity. The genesis of the play lies in a 2021 staged photo exhibit titled Truth Dream Project, conceptualised by Chandini, the director of Payana. Through fantasy, song, dance and dialogue, it creates a unique space for the culture of trans women on the contemporary stage. We are even privy to their linguistic code, as yet un-documented in performance or literary arts.
About Payana
Payana is a Bengaluru-based, community-run organisation which works towards the recognition, acceptance and inclusion of sexual minorities in larger society. They hope to work not only for their own empowerment but to also be instrumental in removing all forms of marginalisation from society. In 2021, they created the Truth Dream Project, a platform where the unfulfilled dreams of trans community members could be brought to life through the medium of photography.
