Women Speak, inspired by Mahasati

Women Speak, inspired by Mahasati is an Indian dance and music performance that celebrates female empowerment through dynamic Kathak choreography and live music. An all-female ensemble brings the story of Mahasati to life by shifting between intimate solos and sweeping group sections, where rhythm, emotion and storytelling merge. Created by Kathak exponent Shila Mehta and Belgo-Spanish choreographer Maya Sapera, in dialogue with contemporary dramaturges Lisi Estaras and Koen Augustijnen, the work bridges Indian classical traditio with contemporary perspectives to reveal a universal language of strength, imagination and womanhood.
