In Rooh: Within Her, renowned choreographer and performer Urja Desai Thakore explores narratives in quiet, everyday, heroism across two millennia.

Collaborating with four top-flight musicians, whose music and movement becomes part of the storytelling magic, Urja stages the turmoil of a mother — a celebrated figure in ancient Tamil literature — who scours the battlefield in search of her son’s body, determined to disprove rumours he died fleeing the enemy. She recreates Chaaran Kanya, renowned Gujarati author Zaverchand Meghani’s account of the folk heroine Heerbai: the teenage cowherdess who drives away a lion that dared to attack her favourite calf, while the entire village quakes in fear.
