Kiruthika Rathanaswami & Malavika Santhosh
Shiva (he)/Shakti (she)
Shiva (he)/Shakti (she) explores the duality of life through the Indian classical dance form Bharata Natyam. Choreographed by Jai Govinda for two accomplished dancers, this scintillating work is rooted in Hindu mythology and expresses how the synthesis of passive and active energies brings harmony, and drives all creation.

The Hindu mythology of Ardhanareeswara signifies “totality lies beyond duality” and represents two people in one body: the half-man, half-woman (Shiva/Shakti) and the inseparable and complementary nature of passive and active energies, creating harmony in the universe.
