In Pallavi, choreographer Sooraj Subramaniam explores the scope of the Odissi dance language together with 4 Indian dancers. Using contemporary methods, he breaks open this classical East Indian dance style and presents it in a new contemporary context.
In Sanskrit, the word “Pallavi” means “budding” or “blooming”. Sooraj therefore views this work as a seed that germinates and grows into a multiple ecosystem. Starting from minimalism and the simplicity of a single movement, this performance unfolds and scatters into a network of complex patterns and kaleidoscopic motifs.
