“When there is a wall behind you and a knife in front, the enemy wants you to take the knife. But you do not take the knife in your body – you take it in your hand”. Purva Naresh’s emotive and explosive adaptation of this true story is one that captures the essence of feminism at its roots, and encapsulates the political power of theatre. A story that is both empowering and heart breaking, upsetting but enlightening – Pink Sari Revolution tells the tale of 400,000 women fighting for freedom in Uttar Pradesh, and their fearless leader Sampat Pal.
