RTUSAMHARAM

SHADES OF THE SEASONS

Based on the great literary work of Kalidas, this production starts with a ‘Purva rang’ as per the classical theatre presentation described in Natyashastra. The intense heat of the summer (Grishma Ritu) is visualised by employing energised motifs in contrast to the sequence of taali (claps), vaani (recitation of mnemonic syllables) and angahaar (movements) depicting the sound of raindrops and the joy that is emanated during the rains (Varsha Ritu).
