You&Me & ManChild

You&Me & ManChild

Double Bill of Short Kathak dance pieces, thematic from a south Asian feminist perspective, written & choreographed by AMINA KHAYYAM on emerging Kathak dancers taking over the three spaces at Rich Mix.

MANCHILD – An exploration of the growing existentialism of the South Asian male in face of the challenging economically and emotionally strong South Asian woman. Meera Patel in a solo piece, expresses the feminist aftermath of a beautiful, aspiring, ‘as good as on a silver screen’ relationship gone sour.

YOU&ME – In a same sex relationship, Raheem Mir plays the ordinary London-esque guy wrestling to confront all that, that prevents him to be with his lover… in a duet with Vlad Troncea.
