UPSTAIRS @ MAAS | 7:30PM

A live presentation of Bharatanatyam and Carnatic Music

naDuvil explores the position of being in-between two concepts through South Asian music, dance and poetry. We reflect on the binaries that can affect us in a myriad of ways: between people, places, identities, schools of thought, and arts. Through the lens of South Asian poetry that spans from centuries ago to modern thought, naDuvil also delves into the performance traditions of Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music through live, choreographed, and improvised performance. The performance will feature a solo Bharatanatyam performer, with 5 accompanying musicians ranging from vocal, percussion, and instruments. While most modern dance performances often perform with recorded music or silo music and dance performances separately, we hope to explore the interaction between the two forms, visualizing music through dance and hearing dance through music.
