In the land of Odisha, dance, music, and spiritualism have always gone hand in hand, each nurturing the other. More than 2,000 years ago, the primitive ‘Saoras’ danced before their tree god, ‘Kitung’. From there, the thread of dance continued.
The dynamics of dance changed with each step of history. The ritualistic community dance became more stylized. Dance was a means of deliverance, a means of entertaining the elite, and a means of self-expression for so many creative people.
Sutra traces the history of classical Odissi dance, explores the areas for further creation, and reinforces the fact that Odissi dance is a constantly evolving form, carrying the message of the past, reflecting the mood of the vitality of the present. As the dance journeys, it opens the door for unlimited creations.
