MUDRA
About the Show:
MUDRA, by Shalaka Kulkarni, is a 60-minute dance-theatre work that unfolds through mythical short stories carried by sand, water, breath, and gesture. Rooted in Bharatanatyam and Kathak and shaped by contemporary movement, the piece explores desire not as longing, but as an inner current that guides, spills, transforms, and leads us toward what is alive and present.
The journey moves from stillness to awakening, from shadow to light, tracing creatures, rivers, keepers, and lotuses that exist between worlds. Each transition reveals desire as motion rather than possession: something that cannot be held, only followed. Like the gradual opening of a lotus, the work peels back layers of memory, time and embodiment, inviting the dancer and the audience closer to an essential, vital truth.
MUDRA features guest artist Yoshinojo Fujima (aka Rika Lin), Grandmaster of Fujima-style Japanese classical dance, in a rare collaboration that bridges form and fluidity, stillness and flow, ritual and release.
