Event Description

Exordium is a modern Indian dance theatre production aimed at discussing contemporary social and political human structures through innovative Indian dance. The production presents 2 full length pieces Yele Oota (‘Grand meal’ in Kannada) and Jaaga Illa (lack of space in Kannada). Yele Oota talks about our response and participation as a human community in the food shortage and management crisis, particularly during covid, through intricately designed movement pieces and dramatic compositions, whereas, Jaaga Illa speaks of the impact of hyper-metropolitanism on cities (here we specifically talk about the impact on Bengaluru) through multiple retinal designs and innovative movement grammar performed on a small wooden box.
