And She Spoke is not the regular systematic and structured Bharatanatyam performance one usually sees with exquisite costumes, jewellery, and hairdos. This semi-classical dance-theatre production, conceptualised by renowned classical dancer Vaibhav Arekar and co-directed by Sushant Jadhav, combines elements ranging from Bharatanatyam, Bharata Nrityam, Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, Maya Angelou, and Amrita Pritam’s poetry, among others, to narrate a story of women—women at home, women at work, young women, old women—essentially, women in their personal daily lives.
