WHAT IS NIRBHAYA?
NIRBHAYA was created in response to the violent gang rape and subsequent death of a Delhi medical student Jyoti Singh Pandey in December, 2012. "Nirbhaya" was the name given to Jyoti by the press as she lay fighting for her life in a hospital bed following her assault. It means "fearless."
NIRBHAYA is a play, but it also a call for societal change. In NIRBHAYA the play, the rape and death of Jyoti serves as the catalyst for each performer to bravely come forward and break their silence- recounting their own intimate and personal experiences of sexual and gender-based violence.
NIRBHAYA’S vision is to do nothing less than CHANGE THE WORLD by ending the silence on sexual violence and creating a fear-free society.
NIRBHAYA is written and directed by internationally acclaimed writer/director Yael Farber, in collaboration with an extraordinary cast and creative team from India.
