Shiva (he)/Shakti (she) explores the duality of life through the Indian classical dance form Bharata Natyam. Choreographed by Jai Govinda for two accomplished dancers, this scintillating work is rooted in Hindu mythology and expresses how the synthesis of passive and active energies brings harmony, and drives all creation.
“Shiva and Shakti, Yin and Yang, purusha and prakriti, are all Eastern concepts celebrating dualism and the constant fluidity of change,” adds Jai Govinda. “Malavika and Kiruthika have created this show by weaving together five of my choreographies with music praising Shiva and Shakti, who are also described as Ardhanareeswara: half woman / half man, the two united as one.”
