BECOMING HERO

In a realm where Bollywood meets gym culture, Akanksha and Jasmine dance. They push into the hero’s world, challenging its boundaries with movements, postures, and actions that unravel the traditional archetype. Becoming Hero is a piece in contemporary dance that probes: What lies beneath the façade of power, strength, and seduction of the illustrious hero? With every thrust and every leap, Akanksha and Jasmine blur the boundaries between might and fragility, sculpting a fresh vision of the hero. The accompanying sound design adds rich texture, layered as it is with extracts of popular hindi film songs from the 90s.
