DRAUPADI – Progress Showing

Created and performed by Shrina Patel

Presented by Shaktiflow

In India, she is both worshipped and feared. Plucked from the pages of classical Indian mythology, Draupadi is a story about a woman who is forced into a game that elicits the war, the Great Battle, known as the Mahabharata. Shrina Patel, actor, and emerging playwright, blurs history and pulls Draupadi from myth into the present day. Weaving dance and theatre, Shrina re-tells the fateful night from Draupadi’s perspective. Draupadi is a familiar character, someone you may know well or resonate with. Perhaps we have a little Draupadi in all of us.
