Kalanidhi Dance is proud to present Amrita Lahiri in Murchhana - The Spirit of Sangeet. Murchhana is based on stories from the oral tradition of the kohl players (drummers) of rural Orissa. These players interpret sangeet (music) as a combination of three elements - nritya (dance), geeta (song), vadya (instrument) - plus a fourth element - the life, or Murchhana.
The story begins with a dialogue between the singer and dancer comparing the physical body to sangeet. Just as a physical body is lifeless without its soul, sangeet comes alive with Murchhana, its soul. The singer asks what is the use of physical expertise without spirit? And what is the spirit? What is it that makes sangeet worthwhile and takes it toward Moksha? It is Muchhana.
Amrita Lahiri has been described as "gifted with a radiant stage presence", and her dance performances and choreographies have been acclaimed for their elegance and dynamism, combined with a refined approach.
Murchhana was created under the mentorship of Sharmila Biswas, and features music by Sudha Raghuraman. Amrita will be accompanied by live musicians.
