A MOVING THEATRICAL PRESENTATION OF THE GODDESS OF THE FOREST
Dancing duo Shijit Nambiar and Parvathy Menon. Music in five different languages. Aranayani, the ethereal goddess of the forest, sets the stage for mesmerizing Bharatnatyam dance production centered on the profound theme of soul searching. With the mystical aura and enchanting presence, she beckons the protagonist into a transformative exploration of self-discovery.
"Transformative exploration of self-discovery through man-beast conflicts and the greed for power. Malayalam poetry, Kabir's couplets, Carnatic music and Rabindra Sangeet along with sophisticated lighting design were used to embellish the theme" - The Hindu
ARANYANI IS AN EMOTIONALLY INTENSE DANCE THEATER PRESENTATION BY SHIJTH NAMBIAR AND PARVATHY, WHEREIN THE NNOCENT SOUL DURING ITS JOURNEY TOWARDS LIBERATION GETS CLOUDED IN THE PURSUIT OF POWER AS IT EVOLVES FROM THE FLUTTERING BUTTERFLY TO THE MAJESTIC ELEPHANT AND FINALLY THE SWAN TO ATTAIN MOKSHA "HAMSA SOHAM EKAM."
