Fragrances...

Inspired by Tagore's work, 'Fragrances' bring together Indian classical dance narrative

through nritta and abhinaya, improvised synergy, abstract expressionistic representation

and the spoken word.

It is an attempt to explore questions of identity, love and loss that appear in Tagore's
poetry and prose leaving behind fragrances of life and of death.
