Prakriti: An Ode to Living

Our final premiere in our three day 25th anniversary festival, Prakriti detailed one day in a coastal town and highlighted those people who are usually invisible to us: the fisherfolk, the farmers, the shopkeepers, the dhabbawallas, the santiation workers, the rail workers, and the teachers. Using music from the Bharatanatyam canon, folk tunes, and dynamic projections and costuming, Prakriti showed how Bharatanatyam can truly be a universal language.
