Love is in the Air is a fresh take on a classic story, building on themes explored in Srishti’s 2009 tour My Stamping Ground. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Broadway’s West Side Story, Bollywood's Josh - the tension of forbidden love has caused thrill and heartbreak throughout the ages. Srishti’s new production explores fighting forces that seem impossible to conquer. Using a male-dominated cast, Love is in the Air tackles the issue of gangs in the UK whilst celebrating the loyalty and solidarity shared by friendship groups, often misconstrued as gangs. Inspired by gang culture and created to send positive messages to communities about this controversial subject, Love is in the Air is an innovative piece where modern film and aerial work meet the traditional form of Bharatanatyam.
