Maiden | Mother | Whore

by Theiya Arts

An interdisciplinary mixed-media performance blending South Asian classical-contemporary dance, interactive projection, spoken word and live audience encounter. Created by Theiya Arts in collaboration with academics from Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society at University of Edinburgh, the work explores gender, power and resistance through a transnational intersectional feminist lens. For Fringe 2026, it is presented as a theatre adaptation. A layered, intimate and politically charged space where you are invited to move through an interactive exhibition environment before entering a live performance shaped by movement, projection art and collective reflection.
