0:00:00 North Meets South
0:36:50 Bindu Sagar

North Meets South is a meeting of Carnatic and Hindustani classical music featuring two of Sweden´s greats: Arun Venkitaraman on the violin and Suranjana Ghosh on tabla. Be prepared for raga fireworks!

Bindu Sagar connects the two dancers Ulrika Larsen and Pauline Reibell as well as their respective Indian classical dance form Odissi and Bharatanatyam. Bindu Sagar is a celebration of the ocean, and at the same time of Devi, mother of the universe and the source of creation, in her many different forms. The dancers explores spoken word and poetry in dialogue with abhinaya, the expressive aspect of Indian classical dance using hand gestures- mudra, facial expressions, sculpturesque poses and a particularly strong presence. It is poetry in motion with live tunes of sitar by Stian Grimstad. This performance is created especially for the Festival.
