People love exploring India for its rich culture and beauty. But this choreography shows an aspect of the country, which most of the explorers are unaware of. Anand belongs to the Dalit caste, also known as 'untouchables'.
In his dance he explores what it means to live in a censured body using elements of Kalaripayattu (Indian Marshal arts), contemporary dance & South-Indian folk forms.
