Mayurpankh

An autobiographical dance work on her own journey as a cancer survivor — courage, resilience and hope.

Shubhada Varadkar in Odissi headdress and silver jewellery, close portrait.

Transforms a deeply personal experience into a universal message of hope and healing. Distinct from her Marathi memoir of the same name — see Books & Film.

Subtitled Dance of Hope, the work is an autobiographical ballet dedicated to cancer awareness. It narrates her own account of grit, guts and grace — faith set against a frightening disease, and an artist’s victory over body and mind.
