unSeen - dir. by Vishnupad Barve

unSeen was a dance piece critiquing how society shapes the idea of femininity or the ‘woman’ across cultures.

14 October 2016

unSeen was based on Rabindranath Tagore’s letter ‘Ramabai-er Baktritar Upalakhse’ (letter with reference to Ramabai’s speech). In 1891, Tagore attended a lecture by Ramabai, where she said that women can do anything that men can, except drinking alcohol. In a highly disputable response to her, he pointed out how nature has made women weaker than men, physically and intellectually, and the necessity, therefore, to follow the ‘law of compensation’.
