Queen-Size - Mandeep Raikhy

A choreographic exploration of the intimacy between two men.

7 September 2017

Triggered by Nishit Saran’s article titled 'Why My Bedroom Habits Are Your Business' (first published in the Indian Express in January 2000), the piece played out on a lone charpoy. The duet examines the nuts and bolts of a close encounter between male bodies and poses questions around spectatorship, privacy and dissent.
