Description

“And what will people say?”... For too many South Asian survivors of domestic violence, it’s the question that keeps them silent. Theatre-maker Kersherka Sivakumaran flips that silence into art with her new work 'And What Will People Say?' at Sydney Fringe Festival. Merging her frontline volunteering with her love for Bharatanatyam and performance, she uses theatre to confront stigma head-on. In conversation with Suhayla Sharif, Kersherka shares how clarity of intent and artistic storytelling can turn shame into dialogue. Listen only on SBS Spice.
