Come Margazhi Season and with the deluge of music /dance and lectures on art in Chennai, one jumps grasshopper like from one Sabha to another, trying to absorb as much as one's energy and trafficking through bumpy and in places water-logged roads and alleys, will allow.

ReplyDeletenavia gave a beautiful concept . very philosophical based. vedanta speaks of veil of Maya.
and the multilingual approach of akka mahadevi kabir das new lyircs by contemporary poets. Hats off to the presentation.
Finally the idiom of presentation Bharatanatyam. Why couldn't this concept be presented in the Margam format. like old idea in new bottle, one could give new idea ( is it new? one understood the veil of Maya due to some conditions and situations faced in life, so what) to get back one could give new idea in old format. signing off.
Navia Nataraja’s “Virodhabhasa” was originally commissioned by Mandala Arts and Culture/ Vancouver, and premiered on VIMEO during the pandemic.
