Event Description

The Goddess

A Raadha Kalpa Production 

Choreography & Direction: Rukmini Vijayakumar

The archetype of power, strength and victory in India is depicted by a female form. Kali, Devi and Durga are the forms of goddess Parvati that represent strength and power. In most cultures, the representation of power is always held within a male form, but the goddesses in the Hindu pantheon carry the metaphor for courage amongst various other essential aspects of life. Knowledge & creation, wealth, nourishment and sustenance, strength, power, art, beauty, grace and kindness are all represented by the many goddesses. The production features three compositions that explore these various aspects of the Goddesses.

Program:

SUNDARI Featured artist & Composer: Ambi Subramaniam 
The indian goddesses are adorned with pearls, rubies and diamonds, bedecked in jewellery and draped in flowing silks. They have long hair that billows like the clouds, beautiful, voluptuous bodies, bangles around their delicate wrists and anklets that tinkle when they walk. The goddesses are seen as sensual, beautiful, graceful, yet powerful. 

INTERMISSION: 10 min 

MANONMANI Featured artists & Composers: Anoor Vinod Shyam & Sunaad Anoor 
From thought comes creation. The creator and the created are both Devi. They have no distance from one another, and yet they seem separate from one another. Birds take flight, flowers bloom, rivers flow, mountains rise and life begins as Devi gracefully walks. The rhythm of the universe begins. 

INTERMISSION: 10 min 

MAHARAJNI Featured artists: Keerthana Vaidyanathan & Raghuram Rajagopalan Composer: Raghuram Rajagopalan 
Power in a female form, in the modern world, is often depicted without sensuality. A sensual woman in the contemporary world is objectified by commercial media. The indian goddesses hold power while also being sensual and sexual. Kali possesses supreme beauty while simultaneously exuding strength and ferocity. Maharajni is the ruler of the universe. She instils fear while also being the kindest and most loving.
