This piece travels into the minds of 3 dancers experiencing lockdown frustration performing mundane tasks who then visualise their world of freedom post lockdown. They come together unified through dance, supporting each other, and relishing the good around them, and realising being happy in the present no matter how inadequate it seems will help make a better tomorrow. This creative piece in Amrithavarshini raga set to Adi Thalam is a perfect blend of Bharathanatyam dance choreography incorporating Nritta and Nritya along with modern musical arrangements.
Performed by Deepa Mani from Australia, Laetitia Sieffert from Switzerland and Shruthi Umaiyaal from India.
Music by IndianRaga Fellows Sindhuja Bhakthavatsalam, Kamaladeepthi Vempati, Kavitha Jayaraman and Nagaari.
Composition by Madurai R. Muralidharan
