Synopsis

The play, Margazhi, traces the life of a Bharatanatyam dancer and the turmoil of the exploitative culture that dictates the quest for dancers to achieve awards, accolades, scholarships and worthy stages to perform on. Vaidehi, an accomplished dancer, realises that her accomplishments and hard work are not enough to enter the big league, where foreign junkets, major festivals and awards are all for sale. She faces the conundrum of striking a deal for what she rightly deserves against being relegated to oblivion like many other dancers like her in the past.
