Act 1 – WiW (Woman-in-waiting)
Inspired by Tamil Sangam poetry, this new solo Dance-Theatre piece by eminent Bharatanatyam artist Divya Kasturi is boldly sensual. In her signature engaging style Divya captures the bottlenecks and breakthroughs of a restless inner journey. Time plays the dominant narrative in this performance. Be it the midnight that sparks off speech, words, thoughts, stories or a stillness that reverberates spiced with a mixture of anxiety, restlessness, hope, memory, despair leading into Act 2.
​
Act 2 – Genesis
Developing from the themes of WiW, Divya’s ensemble choreography is influenced by Indian poet Arundhathi Subramaniam’s writings. Genesis traces a dreamlike narrative that begins with ‘birthing’, ending with a note of ‘self-discovery’, all weaved with the everyday experience of waiting and searching.

The company's work propels a strong drive to combine classical and contemporary South Asian Dance with elements of Western contemporary dance, Indian and Western music, live vocals, technology and physical theatre. Our aesthetics are articulated from the firm bedrock of Bharathanatyam and Carnatic Music with modern concepts and ideas relevant to everyday life.
