“Within“ OFFICIAL TRAILER- Aditi Mangaldas Dance Company - The Drishtikon Dance Foundation
Do the times compel us to look ’within’? To recognise our deepest, most complex emotions. To explore our innermost spaces where humanity and brutality, masculinity and femininity, good and bad seem to lie in half embrace. Waiting to be disentangled. Waiting to be recognised beyond the binaries. Waiting to find expression in ways that shape our lives, our actions, our selves.
At the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2013, Salman Rushdie said, “Classically, we have defined ourselves by the things we love. By the place which is our home, by our family, by our friends. But in this age we’re asked to define ourselves by hate. That what defines you is what pisses you off. And if nothing pisses you off, who are you?“
Is there another way to discover the sky, the eternity within us? Where does one seek inspiration for this journey?
“To understand yourself you must create a mirror that reflects accurately what you are... Only in the understanding of what is, is there freedom from what is.“ J. Krishnamurti
WITHIN is a performance in two parts:
KNOTTED: Contemporary dance based on Kathak / 40 mins
Interval
UNWRAPPED: Kathak / 40 mins
Choreographer’s note:
“Choreographing ’Within’ has been a very different experience from my last few works. It has been about delving into the self and exploring our deepest emotions, however disturbing they may be. Needless to say, the process of creating it has sometimes been almost too close for comfort. That is the journey I invite you to take with us.
When I began conceptualising the piece, I re-visited mythological stories in the context of the social turmoil of our times. Eventually these have become the subterranean stream that feeds the work. Leaving ’Within’ both, ’knotted’ up in our emotions, and ’unwrapped’ of them. In doing so, I found myself inspired by the emptiness and eternal space of the ’sidhha’ sculpture.“
