SITA-s - Credits
a Neo Bharatam
presentation
Through the
lens of Sita, the timeless icon of womanhood, sacrifice, beauty, faith,
constance and courage, Anita refracts and re-weaves the many strands of
story, epic, myth, womanism and received lore. Five women are sketched
in this work... Mandodari, Ahalya, Manthara, Surpanakha and the eternal Sita,
who holds them all together. After the acclaimed Neo Bharatam work of NEELAM
in 2006, Anita returns to a well known and beloved theme which she colours
with her palette of eclectic accents through movement, life experience
and theatre training
