The Kampni will present an amalgam of excerpts from its newest work 'Mandala', which is based on the premise that formlessness gains articulation when translated into design. Divine forces are propitiated in the form of symbols in all cultures of the world; triangles and circles represent the various transformations of reality that culminate in the universe of mind and matter.
Apart from ensemble pieces like ‘Ushas' and ‘Taraana', Madhu Nataraj and Janardhan will present two solo works – ‘Bindu - the womb of brilliance' and ‘Naadaantaa' respectively.
Inspired by the Tamil epic 'Chilappathikaram', Attakkalari's multi-media dance production is an episodical journey, traversing layers of temporal and physical locations that often defy conventional notions of space and chronology. Establishing a link, between the landscape and the emotional as well as spiritual mindset of the protagonist, images from ordinary human existence encounter the intervention of inexplicable forces.
