THE PROGRAM...
...consists of two parts:
The first part is a performance of the classical
South Indian Dance Bharata Natyam.
Several dances with abstract, as well as narrative sequences
are shown. The narrative section tells
stories of Hindu mythology, explanations
are given prior to the dance, thus the audience is able to
follow the action.
Dance: Asmita Banerjee
Choreographies and recordings from Bharata Choodamani Academy
or Kalakshetra,
Chennai, South India
In the second, musical part, ragas of North India
are presented. By melodious blossoming under strictly
fixed rules of improvisation, the typical mood of a raga is
created, which is interwoven with the typically
North Indian rhythm system tala.
Sitar: Klaus Falschlunger
Tabla: Gerhard Rosner
Tanpura: Asmita Banerjee
