Natya Dwani – Swarna Kannan – Anita & Pritha Ratnam – ACD

Description

“Swarna Kannan – The Golden One” is a tribute to the memory of Smt. Ambujam Krishna in her centenary year, by her grand-nieces, Anita and Pritha Ratnam.

Smt. Ambujam Krishna was an accomplished musician who had authored hundreds of songs in adoration of her – Krishna. Laden with madhura bhakti, her compositions have found their way into the repertoire of classical dancers around the world.

With lyrical beauty that brings to life the multihued aspects of Krishna; the mischievous prankster, the divine cowherd, the valiant warrior who overthrew the tyranny of Kamsa, the one who stole the hearts of the gopis of Vrindavan and the divine incarnate who preached the Bhagavad Gita, these songs are replete with bhakti bhava and symbolize a deep yearning of the human soul seeking to merge with The Lord.

Swarna Kannan – The Golden One brings together several beautiful compositions of Smt. Ambujam Krishna, evocatively visualized using the idioms of Bharatanatyam, Mohiniattam, Kathakali and Arayar Sevai and presented by Anita and Pritha Ratnam.

With resonating music, intricate choreography, style and aesthetic elements, stunning stage design, ethereal lighting, “Swarna Kannan – The Golden One,” is in every way a celebration of music, poetry, dance, beauty, love and life.
