The night will characteristic two full-length choreographies — Yele Oota (grand meal) and Jaaga Illa (lack of house). Whereas the previous talks about our response and participation as a group to the meals scarcity, significantly throughout COVID-19, via intricately designed motion items and dramatic compositions, the latter is in regards to the impression of hyper-metropolitanism of cities. The house constraint is proven via the dancers acting on a small picket field.
Vishwakiran believes artwork displays the cities and cultures we stay in and that it’s all the time ‘artwork for everybody and everybody for artwork’. Vishwakiran began his profession as a principal dancer for Nritarutya, a Bengaluru-based dance firm earlier than branching out independently.

“Yele oota, is a grand meal, usually served on a plantain leaf throughout grand celebrations and rituals. The context for me right here is the wastage of meals and the inequality of meals and distribution of meals grains. This was seen particularly throughout COVID-19 as I used to be concerned in distribution of grains to the needy throughout that robust time. We had created a meals chain and offered meals for round 300 households.”
It was then that Vishwakiran found a household that lived simply two streets away from him, had no technique of a meal even for a day. “That triggered the theme of Yele Oota. Analysis exhibits that round 4 ton of meals is wasted at weddings. The dance with its two parallel narratives talks about gluttony.”

The dance talks about how we additionally contribute to this. Is it simply the frequent man who’s reponsible for this drastic congestion or is it the federal government and IT industries? This piece is athletic in nature. The dancers begin off dancing on a small field, in a crammed house and find yourself shifting vertically. For this now we have introduced within the aerial silk type.”
