“...and the three dancers’ forceful, stunningly imagistic performance works as well as theatre and mime as it does as a choreographed work.”
Nadhi Thekkek, Rasika Kumar, and Sahasra Sambamoorthi create Unfiltered, a dance theatre production exploring the pervasive impact of the #metoo movement.
Nadhi, Rasika, and Sahasra drew from their own experiences as well as anonymous experiences of the women in their lives to continue the necessary dialogue around harassment. This work around the movement neither begins nor ends here, but this work was created to spark questions, conversation, and action in the South Asian diaspora and beyond. This work features live music, with original score composed by Roopa Mahadevan. Currently booking for Spring of 2020.
