Polished Performance
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|December 08, 2024
Dance, at its most powerful, serves Das a bridge between cultures. Bharatanatyam dancer Apeksha Niranjan is one such traverser of boundaries.
She has innovatively blended Bharatanatyam with the lilting melodics of Polish folk music; her piece Polska Spotyka Indie (When Poland Meets India) combines Bharatanatyam's ancient rhythms with Polish folk melodies to reveal a poignant chapter of history-the enduring bond between India and Poland, nurtured by empathy.
Art is the fine art of telling stories.
Niranjan's stories echo history as a narrative of violation and redemption. Poland is invaded by Hitler's Nazis in October 1939. Many Poles, mostly fled for safer shores. One of them was her grandmother, Wanda Niwicka, whose family was expelled from their village by the Red Army.
This story is from the December 08, 2024 edition of The New Indian Express Bengaluru.
