'Aalapanaa'
presented a visual history of five hundred years of South Indian
classical music through a dance representation of its most
famous compositions down the ages. Starting with a composition
written over three hundred years ago the program ended with a
contemporary composition written by a musician who lives today.
Many of these compositions are heard regularly as part of
musical concerts, but many in the audience do not understand the
antiquated words that are used in the songs. Bringing them alive
through dance, helped the viewers connect to the thematic content
in an accessible manner.
