Jwala
Bharatanatyam by Mythili Prakash

Conceived and choreographed by Mythili Prakash, one of the most celebrated young Bharatanatyam dancers today, Jwala – Rising Flame explores the enigmatic quality of the flame: that which burns is that which simultaneously illuminates. Created after the passing of her father and the birth of her daughter, Jwala finds connection between saying goodbye and hello, between release and hope, between shedding and seeking. Strong, yet vulnerable, the flickering flame is a symbol that connects all the worlds: the cosmic, the temporal, and the spiritual.
