For kathak exponent Seema Mehta, the idea of the human condition is defined by the constant struggle between the internal and external worlds. “I think the internal world is more complex and deeper, while the external world is more expressive,” she remarks. This idea will find interpretation as she joins fellow danseuse Prachi Wagh and singer Nishanth Venkatesh for the performance Antaran Taran Tu this weekend.
The title of the performance comes from an element of Dhrupad gayaki. “It is part of the Nom tom alap,” explains Venkatesh. “Born of the rudra veena, the alap is a meditative exploration of the divinity within and outside of your own self,” the singer says. This spirituality is a key part of the form of Dhrupad. “It is serious spiritual music and often entails emotions. The performance seeks to unite this spirituality with the external form of expressions.”
