Nimbus was born out of the simple fascination of seeing shapes in clouds. Clouds are used as a metaphor for the swirling and condensing of expectation and desire, which turns to loss and despair as the elusive cloud shape-shifts and washes away. Finally, as silver linings go, whatever truth, conviction and joy there is to be found can only be sought within.
Pallavi layers the relationships between movement, space and relationships between dancing bodies, leading towards a crescendo of intensity and complexity. Over a rich musical framework featuring Carnatic (South Indian) violin and Odissi (east Indian) rhythms, we find four dancing bodies moving like vines, discovering first themselves and then each other through curiosity and camaraderie, showcasing individual technical prowess as well as ensemble expression.
