Danseuse Hemabharathy Palani's contemporary dance piece, Uruvam, is about the osmosis of gender and sexuality

Gender is not black and white but shades of grey. Social stigma and bias pervades our society even as transgenders are fighting for their rights. Danseuse Hemabharathy Palani delves into this socially sensitive topic in her latest work called 'Uruvam' (means form), a contemporary dance piece inspired by the mythological character of Ambe from the Mahabharatha. Prior to Uruvam, she conceptualized and created Chaaya (shadow), another performance based on a social theme.

While Uruvam is about osmosis of genders and sexuality, Chaaya is about emerging from the shadows of sexual abuse.
