Experimental Solo Stage Performances
My stage is my journal, a raw space where movement, prose, and melody collide to question our reality. From the climate reflections of DANDYLION to the existential search of ALL ABOUT NOTHING, I invite you into my world of experimental theatre.
A moment of release from my solo performance "DANDYLION." This piece explores our connection to the earth and the strength of life, using the body to tell a story of resilience.

A short clip from a run of "ALL ABOUT NOTHING." The performance is an intimate experience that questions everything we hold onto, ultimately finding solace in the paradox of nothing and everything.

About Solo Stage Performances
My performances, like ALL ABOUT NOTHING, are not traditional shows where you sit back and passively watch. They are intimate, visceral dialogues between my body and the room, often held in small, grounded spaces like Shoonya Centre or Sabha in Bangalore. If you are coming to watch, come ready to be part of the silence, the breath, and the heavy, beautiful questions I am trying to answer.
My work stems from a deep need to communicate when words fail. DANDYLION was born out of my residency at the Asia Meets Asia spring camp in Tokyo, where I began to understand how climate change is not just an external issue but an internal landscape of resilience. It is Butoh, yes, but it is also the sweat of a Kathak dancer and the sharp angles of Flamenco.
I perform in intimate settings because I need to see your eyes. I need the audience to be part of the performance. Whether we are exploring the illusions of love in ALL ABOUT NOTHING or moving through the silence of a workshop, my focus remains on the urja (energy) in the room.
What you can expect:
- A Raw Dialogue: I do not follow a rigid script. My body reacts to the acoustics, the light, and the tension in the space.
- Physical Theatre: A blend of Butoh, contemporary dance, and physical storytelling that confronts reality rather than avoiding it.
- Engagement: These are not just shows; they are questions. I want to leave you thinking about the things we usually keep hidden in the corners of our minds.
If you are looking for theatre that does not just entertain but demands you to feel, I am here to share that space with you.
