PREMIERE of "Ritu - The Seasons" by Kala Vandanam
I bow to the wheel of six seasons
Cycles of birth and death
Each season bestows gifts
Enchanting our hearts
Bringing abundance to our earth
An original Bharatanatyam (South Indian classical dance) production inspired by Kalidasas 4th century Sanskrit poetry Ritu Samhara and Vivaldi's 18th century work Le Quattro Stagioni, Ritu-The Seasons is an exploration of the cycle of the seasons, and how nature and life form an intricate, interwoven web.

Music Composition - Jyothishmati Sheejith (Sahrdaya Foundation)
Soundscape Design - Sai Shravanam (Resound India Studios)
Poetry Transcreation - Meena Natarajan (Pangea World Theater)
Directorial Guidance - Dipankar Mukherjee (Pangea World Theater)
Performed by a cast of young Twin Cities Bharatanatyam dancers to a professionally recorded soundtrack
