Poetry and Bharatanatyam intertwine as Padma Bhushan recipient Alarmel Valli and award-winning poet Arundhathi Subramaniam bring the bold, untamed voices of mystic women to life.
Some voices refuse to be silenced. Through the dynamic interplay of dance and verses, ‘Wild Women’ spotlights the fearless expressions of women mystics in Indian sacred poetry – voices that defied societal norms, rejected submission, and surrendered only to the spirit.
The performance unites Alarmel Valli, a pioneering force in Bharatanatyam, and Arundhathi Subramaniam, a celebrated poet known for her evocative poetry. Their collaboration sheds light on the bold, often overlooked expressions of devotion, rebellion, and ecstasy, offering a rare glimpse into the pursuit of truth and transcendence.
With rhythm and language seamlessly entwined, ‘Wild Women’ is a tribute to those who embraced freedom in its purest form. It is an ode to artistry, defiance, and the enduring power of the feminine spirit. Step into the experience and witness the untamed power of these mystic voices through immersive dance and poetry!
