The ballet borrows not just from films but also from Mahabharata, Puranas, Bhagwat, Harivijay and the Bhagwad Gita and pays tributes to popular poets and songwriters in many languages.
The dancers excel in abhinaya and also in footwork and it is apparent that the choreographer has spent long hours with them practicing every entry and exit, every expression and gesture to perfection.
The USP of the ballet is the concept, the script and the idea of two narrators Lord Krishna himself and another modern time Krishna, in trousers and coat who introduces himself as the Narrator Krishna and who skillfully and appropriately deconstructs the concept of the deity that is Sri Krishna.. .
This is without exception the first time ever in any performing medium and therefore special.
It is indeed courageous of Prashant Fulwane, owner of Vaastusankalp Group to believe and support this out of ordinary concept.
