"Ganga" A choreographic piece uniting poetry, music and dance by Brigitte Chataignier at Alliance Francaise De Delhi, 72, Lodhi Estate > 6pm on 9th & 10th February 2013
Time : 6:00 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Event Description : 'Ganga' A choreographic piece uniting poetry, music and dance by Brigitte Chataignier.
“Ganga. An immense river, mythical, open to all whispers, all echoes. A matrix-river, a river of memories.
The body undulates, becomes water, and creates a circulation of gestures. Then stops, disappears, before playing with signs and being filled with expressions”
Through breath, voice and gestures, Gangâ explores the feminine intensity of the river: joy, sensitivity, meditation, mourning or melancholy. Inspired by a journey to the symbolic places of the Ganga, this show mixes contemporary dance and musical improvisation, poetic writing and sounds.
Nourished by both Indian and Western choreographic influences, this piece tries to reveal the essential values not only of the Ganga but also of water, and women.
With a scenography that recaptures the idea of a ghat - from the steps to the podium and even to the altar dedicated to the divinity – the show can be adapted to all kinds of spaces, both interior and exterior.
A contemporary choreographer and Mohini Attam dancer, Brigitte Chataigner divides her time between India and France. Her approach to Mohini Attam is between tradition and modernity, a research on the transmission and conservation of a cultural heritage as well as creative work. Brigitte Chataigner is also deeply involved in contemporary creation both as a dancer and choreographer.
