Nanga Kapda (The Naked Cloth) is a research-based performance that focuses on the question of choice and freedom associated with women’s bodies and politics of textiles. Combining research around the feminist history of performance as resistance in India and the long-standing tradition of textile production in the country – work principally carried out by women – the piece employs the Chhapa technique of hand block printing, and movement and sounds reminiscent of the looms and weaving.
