Bhairava
NR 14 min
Bhairava evokes facets of Shiva the Lord of Dance as both the destroyer of evil and the guardian of time He is fierce and drives terrible deeds but he is also the Divine Protector and Supreme Guardian his intention springs from pure compassion In this work carried by a strong and deeply evocative musical score and by the singular energy of the ancient site of Hampi dancer and choreographer Shantala Shivalingappa embodies the presence and distinctive qualities of Bhairava With her technical mastery and refined expressivity she alternates between moments of precise symbolic gestures and more abstract body language surging from the powerful and omnipresent persona of Bhairava creating a vivid incarnation of the deity
