In a performance that shimmered with a quiet elegance and spiritual resonance, Namami Narayanam, a Mohiniyattam dance production, choreographed by guru Shruthi Shoby, was presented at Mylapore Fine Arts Club, as part of the Abbas Cultural Dance Drama Festival. Performed by Shruthi and her disciples from Srishti School of Classical Dance, the thematic production unfolded five timeless stories, themed on Krishna.
The strength of this production lay, not in grandeur or opulence, but in its simplicity. The choreography used minimal props, allowing the audience to enjoy fluid movement vocabulary and nuanced abhinaya that characterise this dance form. The compositions in Malayalam, heightened the appeal.
