Man meets Man... discovering a state of happiness he has never known before; but he has a wife and family at home.
A dance piece choreographed from a south Asian feminist perspective, developed because of AKDC's programme of workshops with women's community groups. The women shared their real-life experiences of a marriage where their partner could not express his sexuality for fear of bringing shame to the family. This experience was developed with two LGBTQ+ performers from their imagining his perspective.
You&Me is a high energetic piece bringing the spectacle and intensity of Kathak with the physicality of contemporary dance with a live music score performed by internationally acclaimed musicians.
