NIRAVADHI
Niravadhi is inspired by the harmony that exists in nature in relation to the extraordinary role that Sound and Silence play in our lives. This production is an attempt to identify the noise within us as well as the tremendous life energy, the still point, that lies deep inside us.

Press on Niravadhi-

Sharp angles often fragment the dancers’ lines as they arrange and rearrange themselves in a fascinating series of geometric tableaux, fast swirls of fluid movement and precise pirouettes.

The strength of the production was its free flowing stream like format to depict an abstract and serious concept. The depth of the concept did not overpower the choreography and made it ascetoric. Rather it conveyed the theme in a lucid manner. Here lies the excellence of the choreographic visualisation.

Seven dancers moved around the stage with precise movements, crisp chakkars and clear understanding of the art form. This dance presentation was all about the perfect visualisation of an absolute abstract theme and good team work.
