Message from Aattakkalari on their show

[Dr.Mahesh Mangalat]

After sold out performances in Rangashankara in Bangalore,
Attakkalari's new multimedia dance production 'CHRONOTOPIA' will be
performed at Music Academy, in Chennai on 18th february at 7 -30 pm.
Do not miss this one off performance.
Telebooking : 9884015641. The production is supported by India
Foundation for the Arts and presented in Chennai by Attakkalari and
IFA in association with Spinz. Please see the attached flyer for
further information.

Inspired by the Tamil epic `Chilappathikaram', Attakkalari's
multi-media dance production, examines the plight of an individual in
these tumultuous times, where spaces – internal and external,
empirical and imagined, historical and contemporary as well as
mythical, cultural and spiritual appear and disappear in one's life in
an unreal fashion as if one is on a journey, dislocating chronology.

The performance by Attakkalari's talented Repertory, anchors on a
central female character represented by three dancers. Chronotopia's
unique abstract movement vocabulary reflects and embodies the human
circumstance, and in the process, time dissolves and dislocates,
infusing the landscape with tenderness and loss.

Highly pixilated traces of projected images (Christian Ziegler) ,
complemented by abstracted light installation ( Chris Salter and
Marje), create an interactive context for the evocative performance,
highlighted by Thomas Dotzler's restrained and refined light design.

Intricate choreography by Jayachandran Palazhy (along with the
dancers) is set to an original, vibrant and melodic score by French
composer Mathias Duplessy, (created in collaboration with Carnatic
musicians from Bangalore).
Emotional, haunting and introspective, CHRONOTOPIA is an ode to the
senses, a magical tour de force through the voyage of life.
