“The Cloud Messenger”
Company dancers Nadhi Thekkek, Sophia Valath, and Arun Mathai will partner with renowned composer G.S. Rajan to present The Cloud Messenger, a Bharatanatyam adaptation of the poem, Meghadhootha, by 5th century Indian poet, Kalidasa. The Cloud Messenger charts the course of a rain cloud tasked with carrying a message of love and hope over mountains to a distant lover. The romantic tale is rich with imagery that evokes a mythical natural landscape drawn with delicate gestures and given contemporary resonance. Through virtuosic choreography, The Cloud Messenger shows why love’s journey, though risky, is something utterly beautiful.
