When Gods Dance - DVD 10. Bharata Natyam
The DVD presents Anita Ratnam's innovative choreography. Athirohana is conceptualized on six chakras that manevour the flow of energies in the human body. It describes the rise of the Kundalini force in the form of a serpent from the base, which represents earth, through the other five chakras, which represent Water, air, fire chakra from Athirohana.
Next is an extract from Mahakal choreographed by the internationally renowned choreographer of contemporary dance, Chandralekha. In the midst of the various negative energies like terrorism, murder and violence, Man still tries to maintain his love and peace. This forms the basis of Chandralekha's Mahakal where we also see Kalaripayatu, the martial are from of Kerala.
