Dancer Divya Goswami's performance focusing on an eternal love story of the region is a testament to her authenticity and the relevance of Kathak as a means of storytelling

- By RIDDHI DOSHI

Sohni must decide; either to wait out the fierce storm or plunge into the swollen Chenab River. Her lover Mahiwal is waiting for her on the other side. But unlike the last fortnight, her earthen pot won't keep her afloat. It's been tampered with by people who oppose their love. She unlatches the door of her house, not once, twice, but thrice. Should she tiptoe back in and meet Mahiwal some other day or should she take the plunge? Kathak dancer Divya Goswami expresses Sohni's dilemma brilliantly in Aqeedat, Love's Union in the Divine, staged as part of the Serendipity Arts Festival in Goa.
