ABOUT THIS series
Who are the women we idolize and what is our relationship to them? DREAM DEVIS is a queer celebration of the feminine archetype in Indian cinema and an exploration of worshipping and being worshiped. This two-act multimedia series is a love letter to the dream devis of the silver screen: ingenues, mothers, vamps, courtesans, superhuman shapeshifters, and beyond told through drag, dance, music and film.
