STHAPATYA SATYA
This production is based on extensive research and embellished with Bandha in four performing Arts-namely Chitra, Kavya, Nirtya and Geeta. Bandha the word means tie or Bond. The dance, music, lyrics & the pictures are woven in to a bond in this production. This choreographic work has the age old rustic, pristine Bandha dance along with the sophisticated Odissa dance of our time, but all the time the inspiration being the sculptures on our temple walls, which have been there as the silent witness of our heritage and culture and the ultimate truth of our line age and tradition. This is a sincere acknowledgement through this production to the ancient sculptors, who had cut those magnificent dancing figures on the temple walls, also the Gotipuas, who have preserved, practiced, propagated and passed on this culture from generation to generation on spite of many adverse circumstances.
