Divine presences are felt on ash-covered ground for a performance of dance, visual art and music, as a contemporary bayadere maintains a dialogue with a frenzied flamenco beat.
For Hindus, ash symbolizes the cycle of life and death. But aSH also means “for Shantala” [à Shantala] for the Frenchman Aurélien Bory who has presented Shantala with the solo. The dancer greets Shiva, going to the point of superimposition in a technique similar to filigree, in a perfect balance between roots and modernity, as she performs Kuchipudi from Andhra Pradesh, a traditional dance that she has revived with elements from the present. With purity of movement and the soul of a warrior, she captures divine vibrations to decorate the ash floor of a mandala in a sound landscape generated live. A distant echo back stage offers a flamenco beat responding to her feet stamping.
