C.Tactile was a contemporary dance piece that looked at what it means to live in a female body under the weight of the male gaze. It asked how touch can be used to control, how it marks hierarchies, and how the female body can push back. Through shifts between closeness and confrontation, dancers Shruti Maria Datar and Melitta D'Souza revealed the many sides of touch - tender, political, personal, and collective.
