The captivating performance will take place on Sunday, February 18, 2024, at 6.45pm at the Nishagandhi Theatre, Kanakakunnu Palace Compound, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
Organized by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC), Nishagandhi Dance Festival is known to celebrate Indian classical dance and promotes culture through such enriching performances. As part of this festival, Geeta Chandran’s solo piece, “Anantaya– Embracing Infinity” promises to be a captivating exploration of infinity, both in its philosophical and emotional dimensions and which will take the audience on a journey that transcends the bounds of time and space.
Through her fluid movements and exceptional storytelling prowess, Geeta distils five decades of immersion into the art form, offering a performance rich in rhythm, expression, and mythology.
It is an opportunity to witness traditional and original compositions come alive as “bhava, raga, and tala” intertwine, unveiling the timeless beauty of Natyam – the art of weaving tales through eras. Her masterful use of ”hastas, mudras, and bhavas” are bound to transport viewers through the vastness of the universe, both cosmic and within each individual, leaving one and all suffused with the vibrant essence of India’s cultural wealth. This experiential journey begins with the exploration of infinity through a Dhrupad Nirgeet, followed by a classical Varnam exploring the infinite love for Shiva, and culminates in a Meera Bhajan, expressing the endless search for the eternal.
Adding depth and nuance to the performance will be a team of accomplished accompanying artists. Varun Rajasekharan on the nattuvangam (rhythmic cymbals), K. Venkatesh on vocals, Manohar Balatchandirane on the mridangam (percussion drum) and G. Raghavendra Prasath on the violin will provide a rich canvas for Geeta to paint with her mesmerising dance.
Looking forward to presenting her solo, Geetaji remarks, “With Anantaya – Embracing Infinity I invite audiences to join me on a journey through the vastness within. It’s not just a performance; it’s an exploration of the infinite possibilities that lie within each of us, expressed through the delicate mudras of Bharatanatyam.”
