Mohiniyattam in 3D

Directed by Sara and Urs Baur,the film is about a woman who arrives late for an audition. There’s a man accompanying her,who handles all her work,and is also her lover. Under pressure to perform well,the woman looks at herself in the mirror and says,“I am responsible for what I am.” On what inspired her to take up the project,Vijayalakshmi says,“Mohiniyattam has rarely been shown in 3D. Also,the story of Carmen suited the performance since it was about an attractive gypsy woman and the word ‘Mohini’ in Mohiniattam also refers to a woman who enchants onlookers.”

Interestingly,the film was shot in a day’s time at Los Angeles’ Metabolic Studios. Carmen will release in Los Angeles and India soon.
