JOON: MORE THAN A FAIRY TALE

We believe every female has a different story to narrate, but somehow few stanzas of every story are related to one another. Stories written and narrated till today have always depicted women from a patriarchal standpoint and that shows the reflection of society, and Shequal is determined to change this narrative. Shequal Foundation organized a dance drama that focused on a story that narrates the social dynamic, a deep sense of skepticism accompanied by fear from societal disapproval, which in turn hinders women’s ability to raise their voices. Even today, there’s an image a woman is supposed to portray. The fundamental justification for turning a tale into a musical dance drama is to reinterpret folk tales with female-centric characters by recreating the world where narration of women’s stories is given a fresh and contemporary perspective.
