Event Description

We are cosmos, and cosmos is us.

The panchabhutas, the five elements, are not only out there in the world; they live in us. Earth, water, fire, air and space, the same forces that shape mountains and rivers, also hold our own bodies in balance. The four perceivable elements are first held within the fifth: the cosmos, infinite, and unmanifest. This is Shiva, the cosmic space, combined with the ever-changing energy of Shakti, maintained by Vishnu himself.

Through live storytelling, music and dance, the performance traces the journey of these elements from the cosmic space to manifested forms, followed by a short interaction with the audience.
