Highlights of the event will be;

 

 

Theekshna

 

The pulse of combat, the rhythm of vigor, melody of the weapon form the soul of this ancient martial art form, Kalaripayattu? Watch while Kalari flows through the instrument of the human body creating an explosion of harmony. Complimented by the invigorating playing of the live drums, this piece is a passionate duel of danger and grace. The weapons move with grace in the hands of the artists only to be executed brilliantly and to prove that the human body is par comparison to any fierce weaponry.

 The disciples of Kalari Academy and PKB Kalari sangam unite their creativity and talent to bring together this extravagant piece. Direction by Ranjan Mullaratt, Artistic director of Kalari Academy of Performing Arts.

 

 

Milan

 

Veena Basavarajaiah, an acclaimed dancer and choreographer of India presents her  choreographic works in collaboration with different artistes and musicians. Her training in Bharatnatyam, Kalari and contemporary art forms has helped her to develop a unique movement vocabulary that has been well accepted in India and abroad. Her works are deep rooted in emotions and explore various relationships both concrete and abstract.

She has had the privilege of working with renowned dance companies and has toured extensively across UK and Europe.With her varied experience of working with artistes of  movement, music, literature and multi media, she presents Milan a compilation of  her distinct work that is unique and close to the heart.

 

 

Tukkam  ? suspendre ?

 

An acrobatic venture with a play of suspension, gravity, might and elegance. The techniques of moving and hanging on a cloth or a rope are not only astonishing, but also form the inimitable meeting point for the artists who dare to go beyond the frontiers of risk. Sustaining the aggressiveness of Kalari in their fights, they mingle with the empty space while poised away from ground. Three men challenge the emptiness with a crawling dance, on a musical composition inspired by Dhrupad singing and undulating music.

 

Tukkam is a creation by Michel Lestr騡n for his France based dance company Compagnie Prana that premiered for the Montpellier festival in France and the music for the piece is composed by Eric Kramer. Tukkam premiers for the first time in India with Sammilan.
