A multi-disciplinary artist, Saif infuses her love for a non-conventional way of storytelling that shines through in this magical and artistic performance.

She is a LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art)-certified acting professional with training in Navarasa Saadhana — a unique acting methodology developed by Kutiyattam exponent and scholar, Venu G.

Although the story of A Woman’s Mind is deeply anchored in Indian mythology and culture, Saif aspires to resonate with a global audience. Saif believes this story is universal; she divulges, “It’s about a woman and her desires, and what happened to her when she took certain risks. It is a raw and passionate mythological tale, but with human elements and values that people can resonate with.”

The show premiered in Dubai in September 2022. Eager to engage with global audiences, the troupe embarked on a tour, featuring a grand performance at the Mythica International Storytelling Festival in Rome earlier this year.

The troupe plans to extend its tour to other parts of India and across the world in the coming year. “This show is for anyone who wants to have an evening of pure human connection,” summarises Saif.
