Part-19
Anita Ratnam (Contemporary dance) Chandralekha’s group (Contemporary dance) This eoisode expands our horizons to see beyond the classical framework of the traditional Indian dance. We present the adventurous Anita Ratnam known for her experimental choreography. “Athirohana” is conceptualized on the six chakras that manevour the flow of energies in the human body. It describes the rise of the Kundalini force in the form of a serpent from the base which represents earth, through the other five chakras which represent water, air, fire, space and mind to attain moksham. We shall watch an extract about the wind and fire chakra from Athirohana, choreographed and performed by Anita Ratnam. Next comes an extract from "Mahakal" choreographed by the internationally renowned choreographer of contemporary dance, Chandralekha. In the midst of the various negative energies like terrorism. Murder and violence, Man still tries to maintain his love and peace. This forms the basis of Chandralekha's Mahakal where we also see Kalaripayatu, the martial art form of Kerala, on display.
