Bringing out the inner devi

Susmita Chatterjee performed her solo production at Gyan Manch
Susmita Chatterjee, the founder-director of Kathak dance troupe ‘Stuti’, performed her solo production, Devi, at

Gyan Manch

recently. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of India’s Independence, she chose this piece as a narrative of struggle. Based on Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s

Devi

Chaudhurani, the production presented true events and characters from the pre-Independence era. Though the storyline is historical, the presentation dealt with contemporary issues like women’s empowerment and emancipation. Eminent dance gurus like Thankamani Kutti, Debjani Chaliha and

Priti Patel

, along with cultural activist Chandroday Ghosh, were present for the show.
