Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, University of Burdwan, language: English, abstract: Dattani’s drama "Dance Like a Man", first staged in 1989, dramatizes "dance" with its many implicit implications – dance as profession, dance as pain, dance as suffering, dance as shelter, dance as ego-formation, dance as rhythm of life, dance as passion, dance as mission, dance as vision and finally, dance as strong maker of gender identity; in addition, it is a reflector of the cultural location of India, more precisely, culturally rich Indianness. The play can be read as a configuration of the characteristic grip of human identity that strongly interfaces the elements of identical autonomy and autonomous identity.
