Bophana (May 2007) - Maya Dance Theatre Ltd

Bophana presented by Maya Dance Theatre is a movement-based adaptation of Asia-In-Theatres 2000 SITA. The story of Bophana highlights a woman telling a story to future women, a maternal journey of epic proportions. The collaborators -director, playwright, dancers and choreographers deconstruct the script with lots of discussion and improvisation work. It is dance theatre, where movements, lights, sounds and theatrical elements play equal importance in the production. Dancers are challenged to reinterpret their impulses through navarasa to convey expressions; primarily through mudras and bhava, styles of Bharatha Naytam. The director, playwright, sound and lighting designers collaborate with the elements to create a space for artistic expression and the audience experiences the story of Bophana through the concept of dance theatre within the design of contemporary theatre.
