Ateet Ki Parchhaiyan
Chequered Spectrum of Mahabharata
Mahabharata is an epic which portrays the full spectrum of human life – its ambitions, its aspirations and its inevitable frustration. You see it all – Extreme anguish and extreme generosity, extreme vengeance and extreme empathy, extreme frustration and extreme peace.
All the main players are at the end of their lives. They are compelled to look back and introspect…The catastrophe that has happened. Total destruction of all that was dear, valuable…! The victory is suddenly worthless and futile and the defeat equally meaningless.
Shama Bhate seeks to aesthetically meld the different forms of Indian classical dance -Kathakali, Odissi, Mohini Attam, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Bharat Natyam, Chhau with their different stylizations, costumes and even music, to tell the eternal story – that is Mahabharata, in a unique way, perhaps for the first time!!!
