Malavika Sarukkai: "Anubandh - Connectedness" | Nov. 10 & 11, 2023

www.kennedy-center.org/whats-...
A new solo dance creation conceptualized and choreographed by eminent artist Malavika Sarukkai, Anubandh - Connectedness is a path-breaking work in the language of the classical Indian dance Bharatanatyam that also imaginatively reworks tradition. Sarukkai is a favorite of Kennedy Center audiences, last seen in 2018 with her “enchanting and deeply imaginative work” (The Washington Post) Thari-The Loom and as part of the 2023 RiverRun Festival.
Exploring the essential relationship between nature and life, Anubandh recognizes and reclaims primordial relationships with the Sun and the Moon, as well as the Five Great Elements as they are honoured in India: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Space. Sarukkai invites audiences to journey with her from the familiar to the unfamiliar as a narrative moves from the personal to the shared, and from the individual to the collective. At a time of uncertainty in a fractured world, Anubandh is a call to the transformative power of hope.
Anubandh is supported by an innovative light design and brings together a spectrum of musicians who have created individual and collective music compositions.

There's something about this dance.

The background singing is a Dhrupad Alaap by Pt. Uday Bhawalkar. It is unfortunate that no one cared to as much as acknowledge this, leave aside seeking his permission to use it.

Stop making something very complex of something simple. I am not a fan of fusion. Enjoy pure bharatnatyam
