Celebrate a festival of colours with Besharam!

Infused with the rhythm and passion of Bollywood music and dance, Same Same But Different tells two intersecting stories that take you behind the scenes of Indian cinema. 

Written and performed by Anita Majumdar, best known for her one-person dance/drama Fish Eyes, and starring in Deepa Mehta's film adaptation of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Majumdar is also a Dora Mavor Moore nominated choreographer with over 15 years of classical Indian dance training.  

In the first story, Canadian-born Bollywood starlet Aisha confronts her own prejudices about nationality, skin colour and family - and realizes her dreams of stardom require sacrifice. The second explores the story of Aisha's mother, Kabira, and her own life-changing encounter with Bollywood.
