Combining vocabulary derived from Indian classical dance with live music and spoken word, The Gaze - you, me, us and them is an interactive dance and film installation exploring society’s critical gaze on women’s bodies.
An evocative new performance by Edinburgh-based choreographer and dancer Himadri Madan, The Gaze - you, me, us and them blends the traditional form Kathak, and contemporary movement, with spoken word, to explore the experience of existing as a woman under society’s ever-present, critical gaze.
This unique event combines an interactive film installation with a powerful live solo performance, accompanied by live music from Ankna Arockiam, musician and lecturer at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Together, they create an immersive space that invites audiences to reflect on their own experiences of navigating, resisting, and conforming to power structures that shape ideas of shame, modesty, and perfection.
Inspired by Mahasweta Devi’s Draupadi, the work delves into the intersections of caste, class, gender, and body politics, revealing the tension between resistance and conformity.
Recommended for ages 14+
