A dance spectacle by Vijaya Rao, featuring Vijaya Rao, the Nateschwara Dancers and their Indian music ensemble. Special appearance: Dr. Sharmila Rao.
Practically to the day on the 30th anniversary of my stage debut, I’m performing again for the first time in 12 years alongside my mother Vijaya Rao and our mutual students. A wonderful way to celebrate this anniversary and to show my gratitude to the audience for 30 wonderful years on stage.
The program ‘DIVYA – From Heaven to Earth’, is a Bharata Natyam Dance Theater, a representation of the 5th Veda (Natya Shastra) in Sanskrit – a journey of Indian dance, from the heavenly mythical origin to its present earthly form. The dance play narrates stories in Sanskrit from ancient Vedic script Natya Shastra, depicting the origin of classical Indian dance, describing the cosmic dance of Shiva, of goddess Parvati and the Apsaras of the heavenly reign of Indra. Vijaya Rao created, composed and choreographed this piece in collaboration with Sanskrit professor Dr. Jaydev Jani of Baroda University and musician Balasubramanium Anantharaman.
