Anita Ratnam: While in Bombay, I watched the incandescent Sanjukta Wagh perform in an old gallery/warehouse called Project 88. She was interpreting feminist writer Iravati Karve’s alternative narrative on the Mahabharata, YUGANTA. Sanjukta is a compelling performer, using theatre, Kathak, silence, visual projection and acoustic guitar to tell the story of Gandhari, the hapless mother of the Kauravas. It was a brilliant, intelligent and moving performance, heightened by the ambience of the space I sat in. How can I describe these kinds of evening experiences? Neo classical dance? Contemporary theatre? Spoken word theatre? Western artistic directors and curators will be flummoxed searching for pat titles and slots to programme these performances. In India, we accept them in the broader framework of “DANCE THEATRE”. There are growing crowds of writers and artistes from theatre, modern dance and visual arts who flock to these alternate performances that do not reference pop culture but draw from the well of imagery, myth through the modern prism of multiple time zones. May this genre grow and the tribe of brave performers increase. www.narthaki.com/info/anitasays/asmay14.html
