The Nautch Girls is a musical drama showcasing the true life events of Indian courtesans, likened to the Geishas of Japan.
Combined with the gripping contemporary drama of an Australian girl on a special mission to India, the show provides a rare glimpse into the art, dance, song and etiquette of the extraordinary Indian Dancing Girls.
Featuring more than a dozen Classical and Bollywood dance numbers, it traces the rise and demise of the dancing girls from the Mughal period of the 17th Century through the British Raj to present times.
This is the very first time the documentation of the lives of the Dancing Girls has taken place on stage.
It's also an opportunity for people to watch KATHAK- a classical dance that originated more than 2000 years ago, but which has had little exposure in Australia.
The Nautch Girls will satisfy the Bollywood Buff, the Serious Historian and the Cultural Snob.
How can you miss it??
