Performance Night

Friday, November 25

Max Mueller Bhawan Lawns

7 pm onwards

The Nigah QueerFest is never complete without what we so unimaginatively call ‘the performance night’. However, worry not! Because our shortcoming in the imagination department is more than made up for by the incredible performances we have lined up for you this year!

Join us to cheer these fabulous performers as we close this year's NQF while digging into some hot jalebis and pakoras!

OUTcaste / आउट कास्ट - "अपने दिल में बिठा लो, मैं ऐसा ही हूँ |"

Project OUTcaste by Sumit Baudh is on the subject of caste, gender and sexuality. It is focused on Dalits and Queers.  Baudh collects personal experiences of others through interviews.  He plays select portions of these interviews on earphones, audible only to him.  Reciting them aloud, he becomes a voice medium for somebody who is speaking intimately into his ears.  

Swansongs for Ugly Ducklings...

A little light musical interlude by Anita Roy, who has been coaxed and bullied to ‘out’ herself as a performer!

Dark Desires: tales of love lust and hidden pleasure

The Kinky Collective brings you face to face with a dark Dominatrix and her submissive Slave as they perform a short theatrical performance about their childhood, their lives, their lust and desires. But not ones to bore you with tales of love and longing, they will reveal their secret, perverted and kinky selves, and welcome you to glimpse the erotic world of Bondage Domination and Sado Masochism. 

Strings of Pride

Gwyneth is a lyricist and musician from Shillong, who will be performing her original English compositions for us. She’s widely travelled on the merits of poetry & music and formed the highly acclaimed first all female band 'Mermaid'. She also initiated 'Diva's Nite' a musical extravaganza highlighting only female performers and is currently working on her debut album in English.

Gujarish

Bobby Rathore and her group from Development Advocacy and Research Trust (DART) will surely stir things up by dancing to a medley of bollywood numbers, making it almost impossible for you to sit still!
