Devdas

Choreographed by Swarali Karulkar 

Directed by Arpita Mukherjee

Adapted from the iconic Indian tale written by Sarat Chandra

Set in India’s hyper-competitive reality dance competition world, Devdas tells the story of the two women who coveted both the main prize and the man. The iconic Indian tale written by Sarat Chandra has had more than 500 adaptations, almost always with a man at the center of it: Devdas, the symbol of love and loss. In this re-imagined version, the story of the tragic hero is told from the point of view of the women that loved him—and told through a ballet set in modern India. Through the use of original compositions and innovative Indo-contemporary choreography, Hypokrit Theatre Company brings to the stage the oldest Indian love story, as its never been seen before, where women rule, and love and loss is just a transaction.
