Limitless Productions presents Forbidden Fruit – The Official Launch Event.
- A showcase of dance theatre pieces followed by a reception

Limitless Productions proudly presents Forbidden Fruit – an assortment of cultural and cross cultural subjects that are considered too controversial, taboo or forbidden for discussion in India and Canada. Utilizing the form and techniques of Contemporary Ballet in fusion with the beauty and lyrical aspects of Indian Classical dances like Bharatanatyam and Kathak, Forbidden Fruit is an attempt to explore and deal with such taboo issues as Abuse, Prostitution, Interracial Love, Sexuality and Desire for Human Connection through Indo-Contemporary dance form.

Forbidden Fruit is an unabashed and sensitive attempt to initiate and inspire dialogue, thought, and an attempt at social change and change of attitudes. Step into the unknown and get a taste of what’s forbidden.
