Sindhoor and Natyaveda – Navarasa
A Story and Song, A Dance Theater by Aparna Sindhoor, Anil Natyaveda and S M Raju, Music by PRASANNA
Arts 111
A woman can become a flowering tree. When a tree is nourished and provided with a strong foundation, it thrives. When a tree is abused, it deteriorates. This moving production is inspired by folk tales of women, environment, love stories from India, and Native American traditions. A Story and A Song is performed with wit and a dynamic interplay of Indian classical dance (Bharatanatyam), martial arts (Kalari ppyattu), yoga, aerial, theater, and music.
Critics have called Sindhoor and Natyaveda’s choreography “breath taking” and “tantalizing.”
“A magical mix of tradition and styles. Moving tales from Navarasa.” – Boston Globe
