“WHY DO I SPEAK ENGLISH??”

I have been asked this in an accusatory manner. I’ve been offended by it sometimes.. I’ve often wondered.. “What’s all the fuss about? Isn’t it just a language?”

Recently, I decided to become a full-time actor in my country - India. Suddenly, it was difficult to find work, as I mainly spoke English, in a so-called “non-English speaking nation.”

Thus, started my journey to find answers. 

Using a perfect blend of contemporary dance and the spoken word, I tell my personal story through my unique physical language. 

Come and watch a glimpse of my life!
