Sisters is a brand new, contemporary work, co-created by National Theatre Wales and India’s Junoon Theatre, imagined by a group of female artists from Wales and India, exploring their linked roots and histories.

The project began mid 2017 as an international conversation and collaboration between British-Asian and Indian female performers, artists, creatives and designers. It seeks to explore and challenge notions of what it means to be an Asian woman today. It will also investigate the mythical cultural history of both India and Wales and the role of the female within these myths.

The initial exploration investigates how our heritage and our cultural patrimony intersects with our contemporary lives and identities as women; what has shaped us and led us to the point at which we now find ourselves? What is it to be a woman today in India and the UK? What impact has migration and partition had on our lives and families? How can we speak to our ‘sisters’ when they live on the other side of the world?
