What she does is brilliant for classical dance and art because she curates it well, it's a ticketed show at Rs 549 and the performances are mind boggling.
This edition had two parts - one by Mahati Kannan called 'Hari Hara' which is a thematic solo about the dual aspect of Vishnu and Shiva. The second was titled 'Asthitva' - The Tale of the Pregnant King which was performed by Parshwanath Upadhye and Adithya PV from Bangalore. It's a fictional story about love, loss, betrayal, duty - a story about a prince and a hermit.
I missed the first part which I hope to see on YouTube sometime. What I saw of Mahati in the teaser was quite impressive.
But I saw 'Asthitva' and was blown by everything - the story, the precision in the performances and how well they synced, the music, the lighting - it was a fascinating performance and I was glad I drove sixty kilometres in traffic to watch it. I was totally awestruck.
I am also amazed at the work Sravya is doing and wish her all the best. I will support her every single festival and will buy tickets for myself and my friends. It was nice to see stalls outside selling stuff. Can't wait for it to come back. And well done Sravya and Dvi.
