About "Dance Like a Man"

The classical dance form of Bharatanatyam serves as a backdrop to this timeless story which reveals tragic struggles for identity and the quest to pursue one's ambitions at all costs. A man's desire to foray into an artistic space that is primarily seen as a woman's domain and his father's resulting disapproval illuminates a gender construct within which individuals of both sexes are shackled by societal expectations and boundaries.  A daughter is about to embark on a promising dance career and a marriage just as her parents' own marriage unravels, haunted by an unspeakable tragedy in the past.  Hailed as one of the best works of dramatic imagination in recent times, Dance Like a Man is a brilliant study of human relationships and weaknesses framed by the age-old battle between tradition and youthful rebellion.
