Pallavi

Contemporary interpretation on Odissi dance

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.

"Zijn gebruik van de ruimte echoot het soepele evenwicht van grote choreografen, met daarbovenop een aantrekkelijke lichtheid die mooi combineert met het diep geaarde voetenwerk van de danseressen."
