DESCRIPTION :
Adishakti Laboratory for Theatre Arts and Research production presents Ganapati, the performance that interpretes the birth stories related to the myths of Ganapati, elephant headed god from the Puranic cycle or Martanda from the Vedic cycle. It is structured in a recurring cycle of creation, celebration, destruction and return, which parallel`s the motif in these birth stories. The return is suggested by a re-telling of the myth repeatedly and from different points of view. The performance suggests its concerns largely through different patterns and textures of rhythms. The rhythms used in this piece have been evolved from the rhythms of Koodiyattam music and folk rhythms from various parts of South Asia.
The performers are Vinay Kumar, Arvind Rane, Pascal Sieger, Nimmy Raphel, Anoop Davis and Apoorva Arthur.
