The Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre | Dance | Main Tawaif

Main Tawaif is a presentation by Manjari Chaturvedi, under The Courtesan Project Series. Ten years into existence the series is founded and conceptualized by Classical Dancer, Creator of Sufi Kathak, and Restorer of the Dance of Tawaifs, Manjari Chaturvedi. The performance is a profound exploration of the gender dynamics within the arts, unveiling the pivotal influence of women performers – the enigmatic Tawaifs and Baijis – of North India from the 16th to the 20th century. The performance is set as an intimate mehfil performance of how the Tawaifs would perform in yesteryears. Their music, their stories, their dance enacted by a single performer.

Do not miss this unique performance infused with the nostalgia of yesteryears and yet a progressively modern thought of asserting the rights of women performers.
