‘The Nautch Girls’ is an evocation of the poignant and poetic life of the courtesans of India. The show lends a voice and rhythm to some extremely enchanting unheard and untold real life anecdotes of the most renowned courtesans, spanning three centuries. The word ‘Nautch’ is derived from the Hindi/Urdu word ‘Nach’ which means dance. The British rulers of India called the native dancing girls the ‘Nautch Girls’. The extensively researched History of these courtesans is depicted on stage through dazzling dances, artistic period style costumes, glittering jewellery and a most interesting story threading the entire show.
