Event Description : 'Naachni' The life and sufferings of a court dancer in a one actor play.
Naachni” is a story about Kisuki Bai, whose grasp of her craft propels her to the stature of a state dancer at a time when the feudal society is crumbling in India. Devoid of her patronage, she is thrown out into the world and left to struggle for a livelihood. The poignant narration takes the form of the protagonist speaking of her suffering of being plucked out of her home in childhood into a world sans dignity, and then back to a society which does not value her art. What lends a deeper edge to the narration is the protagonist’s conversation with an absent daughter.
Naachni’ also carries another parallel tale -- the loss of ground experienced by our folk artists in the face of an enormous shift in society
