Yatra – The Journey Called Life

Gyaan Adab invites you to a unique ballet, Yatra which is based on the four basic ends (purusharthas) of human life, as recognized by the Hindu tradition: Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. It is a fast-paced and lively ballet based on the various stages of the protagonist’s life as he searches for the true meaning of his existence. It reflects upon the futility of holding on to one’s ego and material possessions as well as the ever changing, transient nature of life. Each stage commands a dance style to bring out its true essence. A variety of dance styles have been thus explored: Bharatnatyam, Odissi, Kalaripayattu and Western Contemporary. These styles are set to indo-western fusion music including violin, drums, piano, sarod, sitar, flute and sarangi. Dance sequences are interwoven with a brilliantly written script (prose and poetry) by Ravindra Matthadhikari in Hindi. Like a string of pearls, each stage of life is carefully enacted, giving ample scope for personal interpretation:

Curiosity and Learning
Power and Ambition
Lust and Desire
Awareness and Introspection
Love and Liberation
