Two of India’s most popular Bharatanatyam performers, Leela Samson and Malavika Sarukkai, will be performing at a dance festival at Tijara Fort-Palace, Neemrana, over the weekend. The event will also host an array of lectures, exhibitions, and workshops on artistic disciplines including dance, fashion, photography, and music.
On her piece, Samson says, “[The Spanda Dance Company and I ] will present Nadi – it is the way poets over the last 200-300 years have looked at the subject of rivers, and expressed it in their own languages. We cover six Indian languages and in each song, there is a very deep philosophical meaning to the symbolism and metaphor of the river.”
