‘I am not a mother - nohot mata’ is a musical drama and discussion conceptualized and scripted by Sudeshna Basu to explore the various layers defining the identity of a woman.
Sudeshna Basu is a mathematician by trainee and she is a well known face in the world of Rabindra Sangeet
The event focused on the topical issues like how society perceives a woman in different roles like that of a mother, wife, and daughter but does one want to see what goes on inside a woman’s mind, what is her identity?
This program explored and rediscovered a woman’s soul through writings of Maya Angelou who asserts “I am a phenomenal woman”, Virginia Wolf who believes that a woman needs “..a room of one’s own" and Elizabeth Gilbert who realizes “I don’t want to be married anymore. I don’t want to live in this big house. I don’t want to have a baby.”
The discussion explored the relationship between Virginia Wolf and Victoria Ocampo. The program also transcended and connected to Tagore-an heroines who were bold and beautiful and never played the role of a mother.
