A creative unveiling facets of women leaders through Queen Cleopatra’s portrayal.
Being a daring and revolutionary step in Mohini's creative development, Woman With No Wings combined the delicacy of traditional Indian classical dance and music with the dynamism of contemporary modern dance and Western drama. This revolutionary performance delivered a strikingly human picture of Queen Cleopatra, moving beyond the majesty of her crown to discover the woman beneath the mythology, one battling with her inner demons and the weight of her legacy.
The premiere of Woman With No Wings, which featured an impressive ensemble of 70 artists, took place on September 27, 2024. Fundamentally, Woman With No Wings brought a contemporary viewpoint to the stage while shedding focus on mental health, a major societal concern in the post-COVID era. The production allowed viewers to examine the unvarnished, frequently hidden aspects of a strong female leader's path via Cleopatra, serving as a potent reminder that even those who influence history are not immune to the silent struggles of the soul.
