Tandava the Dance of Dissolution is an attempt to re-read the Hindu myth of “Shiva Tandava” (the cosmic dance of Shiva) on the milieu of current history of warfare, destruction, intolerance and religious fundamentalism, using the costumes and dramatic techniques of the south Indian classical dance Bharatanatyam. The cosmic dance of Shiva is both symbol and reality at the same time. It is the movement of creation, preservation and dissolution, the triad taken together is the principle of MAYA (illusion), nature’s endless impulse, taking place within each of the beings, and within every atom of the universe.
Short Film: 9:00 Mints.
