Niravadhi
‘Niravadhi’ means boundless. But what is it that is boundless? Is it the noise we are engulfed in? Or is it the life force?
Through this evocative ensemble piece, Kathak dance and choreographer Debashree Bhattacharya attempts to identify the noise within us as well as the tremendous life energy, the still point that lies deep inside us. ‘Niravadhi’ invites us to look inward …. to ask ourselves why we have let the discord outside destroy the essence of us, of man as a human being.
Perhaps the answer is all around us …. in the air, in the fire, in the water, the earth and the sky! Were we to soak in the energy, the flow, the life force of these elements, maybe we could step into a brave new world….a world with the still point where the dance is!
