#ActiveWomen with RJ Shruti Sharada – #Theatre Artist Deepika Arwind’s #Comic Take on Everyday #Sexism

Mid-way into this interview, Deepika Arwind remarks that imagine, imagine in a time far away from today, when all these (sexist) things have been sorted out, how absurd it would feel that we used to say such things at some point!

#GenderBender with RJ Shruti Sharada – #Artist Aarthi Murali on #Marriage, Monogamy, and #Mothers

‘Amma Is In Town’ is spare, conversational, and intuitive – a lyrical essay that invokes humour and a bubbling sense of desperation while discussing the relationship dynamics between a mother and a daughter. Aarthi’s piece is low on frills, and aptly, she presented it while sitting on a chair on the stage, with absolutely no embellishment around.

Sreecheta’s fi...
