Payal Ramchandani & Chandenie Gobardhan:

Just Enough Madness & Caught In The Net Of Rebirth

Two deeply-felt works by new generation South Asian artists, with live music.

What happens to a woman when the world calls it joy, but her body whispers something else? Exploring the silences surrounding motherhood, miscarriage, and postpartum, Just Enough Madness is a bold new dance-theatre work, weaving poetic text, ritual, and a striking live musical score. Performed by Payal Ramchandani in the South Indian classical dance form, Kuchipudi, alongside three live musicians on percussion, flute, and vocal.

In the short work Caught Again in the Net of Rebirth, rising artist Chandenie Gobardhan and their four dancers explore the concept of Trimurti – a cosmic cycle of creation, preservation and destruction of the self. In meticulously detailed scenes Chandenie draws from Bharatanatyam as well as street and contemporary dance styles to draw us into meditative and ancestral images of transformation.
