Music for a dance solo by Poernima Gobardhan, in addition to music by John Ozbay and Wilbert van den Boogert
About
MY PITṚS questions the linear sense of time. Our present cannot be understood without the past. The past, the history of our ancestors, also plays a decisive role in our individual timeline. In this way, every life is preserved in the minds of subsequent generations and death is seen as a transition to another phase, in contrast to the Western view where death is seen as an end. In this solo by Gobardhan, we reflect on the phenomenon of mortality in our lives using Bharata Natyam as a movement language.
