Sutikshna Veeravalli’s Bharatanatyam presentation is of a single, long-form piece that focuses on one heroine’s process of disillusionment.This composition, “E Mayaladira”, follows her as she gathers courage to ask her significant other about his suspected infidelity.
She tentatively questions him, trying to make sense of what could have possibly drawn him away from her.
As she reconciles what was, what could have been, and what now is, she arrives at an acidulous clarity.
Whether or not this clarity is objectively true, perhaps this fundamentally human arc of sense-making is what allows us the freedom to move on.
Sapna Govindan and Gayathri Thampatty will present selected choreographies from the Sougandhikam bani (tradition or style) of Mohiniyattam developed by the globally renowned dancer/choreographer Dr. Neena Prasad.
The choreographies will illustrate both the abstract and interpretive elements of Mohiniyattam through poetic texts that delve into devotion, maternal affection, and romantic love (including a lover’s spat)- a whole gamut of human emotions!
