For centuries, Gotipua has been performed, in Orissa India, by boys who dress up as girl. This art is fading away, some teachers are disappearing others resign... Because the first problem is the disaffection of the audience who is attracted by other things and when the artist has no audience, he die, his art die. This photo is part of a long-term research and archival work, to reflect a diversity in performing arts that is disappearing.
