Details
Through the classical Indian dance of Bharatanatyam, the audience is drawn into the state of mind of a woman in love. Nayika explores the different types of heroines and their relationships with their lovers. The different moods of love described in the ancient Sanskrit scriptures are explored through classical dance in an innovative way with a modern edge. From the excitement of anticipation and enjoying the romantic union, to the unbearable pain of separation and her fury when he returns after being unfaithful; this work delves into the timeless feelings of the joys and pains of love, just as relatable now as it was when these women were first depicted thousands of years ago.
