Essence of Life – A Revolution in Dance & Music

 

Essence of Life – A Revolution in Dance & Music brings to Bangalore for the second time a dance and music live show on September 28th, 2013 at Chowdiah Memorial Hall.

This show will showcase the insights and the unique approach of Jiddu Krishnamurti through dance and music to a contemporary and sophisticated global audience. There are performances by renowned dancers in Bharatnatyam, Mohiniattam, Kathak, Odissi and Kuchipudi dance forms.

Prominent artists from all over the world from established dance traditions, come together to communicate deeper philosophical issues in a meaningful manner.Singers Padmashree Hariharan and Sanjeev Abhyankar have lent their voice to these compositions.

Essence of Life explores deeper existential issues and attempts to focus on each individual to enable him to understand his own mind. The dance forms are the representation of the individual’s conflicts, complex human sufferings and problems. The show uses different dance forms not just to depict the enormocity of the fundamental human problem but it also uses the significant aspects of Krishnamurti’s teachings to find and become aware of one’s own nature and through this awareness, understand and find solutions to one’s own problems.
Jiddu Krishnamurti, the world-renowned philosopher and Seer of the 20th century has written and spoken extensively about the various problems of our life like fear, suffering, hatred, violence and death. Hence, Krishnamurti’s teachings are very relevant to our daily life and contemporary thought. Whereas the traditional dance forms generally deal with tales from the ancient epics, stories of gods, saints, mighty kings and warriors. In these traditional recitals, (Sahitya) the lyrics of the musical compositions also speak of episodes from the epics and mythologies which are based on scriptures and ancient classical texts.
Essence of Life brings you an experience that is enchanting, life affirming and invigorating all at the same time.
