Fall in love with Bollywood - as both your lover, and your problematic ex. ITEM is a powerful contemporary dance-theatre that dares to challenge the well-established institution and romantic ideals of Bollywood.

Drawing inspiration from the letters and interviews from hundreds of women collected over the past three years, this captivating new work sheds light on the influence of Bollywood - and how the stories and media we consume can affect us, even subconsciously.

Flipping stereotypes upside down and inside out, ITEM intertwines the feedback and critiques of a passionate community of Bollywood lovers, along with real narratives from the Indian diaspora, creating a new storyline for this beloved genre of Indian storytelling.

Featuring insane dancing, stunning visuals and costumes - this bold reinvention is directed by Lisa Fa’alafi (Hot Brown Honey), and is brought to life by the talented Nakhre Crew, hailing from local Bollywood dance company - Dance Masala.
