Description

In response to India’s current right-wing government's project of asserting the idea of a Hindu nation, this work brings the Dancing Girl from Mohenjo-Daro (c 2300-1750 BCE) to life through dance and artificial intelligence. Through a choreographic play with the Dancing Girl, this work challenges the simplistic historical narratives attributed to it and sets up a dialogue with the inherently political act of history-writing. How does an artifact think and move for itself? Can the body of the nation in the 75th year of its independence be imagined as this irreverently playful artifact?
