ANTARĀTMA — A Bharatanatyam Dance Production 
Exploring Navarasa Through Tagore

Antarātma is a Bharatanatyam dance production that journeys through the Navarasa – the nine fundamental emotions that shape the full spectrum of human experience, as laid out in the Natyashastra by Bharata Muni. 
Drawing inspiration from Rabindranath Tagore’s vast and diverse body of work, the production highlights how Tagore’s poetry and songs effortlessly traverse love, longing, courage, devotion, wonder, peace, and the darker shades of fear, anger, and despair. His artistic universe becomes the canvas upon which the Navarasa come alive. Antarātma becomes both an inner voyage and a collective experience – a celebration of the human spirit in all its colours.

Followed by another performance:

Basanta Eshe Gechhe

Spring appears as a radiant, elusive prince whose presence awakens the world—softening winds, stirring dormant hearts, and setting life in motion. Through evocative choreography, the production explores renewal as both beauty and force, leaving behind a lingering sense of longing for its return.
