Pravaha - A Bharatanatyam Dance Theatre Production at Esplanade Theatre

An original dance theatre production conceived and choreographed by Sheejith Krishna, with dancers from SIFAS, 'Pravaha' will celebrate the dance of water, the journey of cloud, rain and river, the flow of creative imagination set free, the dance of the human spirit at one with nature.
The production will be inspired by the rich lyricism of classical poetry on the iconic Ganga (the river Ganges), Kalidasa's 'Meghadutam' and other traditional and modern stories on cloud, rain and river. It will trace the journey of water from the origin of life in the Cosmos to the appearance of first humans on the planet. It will then highlight through the story of water, how human response to nature has evolved over millennia, finding expression in mythology and sacred/secular art. Emphasising the interconnectedness of all living things, the production would showcase, through the lovely medium of Bharatanatyam, human kind's greatest challenge today- saving our fresh water rivers and lakes and preserving and protecting our environment.
