“Jhalak is a performance that brings together five women’s intimate stories of pleasure, shaped by age, circumstance, secrecy, culture, and survival. It explores pleasure not as spectacle or confession, but as a deeply personal experience that often exists beyond public visibility.
Through voice, atmosphere, gesture, and refusal, the performance creates domestic spaces where desire can be expressed without being exposed. Grounded in the politics of consent, it shifts the audience from looking to listening, recognising that invisibility does not mean absence and that intimacy cannot be forced, solved, or consumed. Jhalak offers a glimpse into how women carry pleasure privately, fearfully, boldly, and tenderly.”
