Uma and Ganga: depicts the co-existence of Lord Shiva’s two consorts Ganga and Uma (also known as Parvathy) within his body and portrays the contrast between the two women’s natures and origins, Ganga, born as a forceful river out of a burst of energy from the sky and Uma born of the earth.

Duality in Divinity: illustrates four dual relationships involving deities – that between the two sons of Lord Shiva, Ganesha and Skanda, one symbolising wisdom and the other valour, both intrinsic attributes of divinity, that between patient Sita and fiery Draupati, the heroines of the two Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha, that between deities Vishnu and Shiva who came together to create a third, Hariharasudha, and finally, the figure of Ardhanari comprising two perceived aspects, that of a male and female, within the single body of Shiva.
Choreographed & performed by: Shijith and Parvathy
