After seven years, Chowk will re-stage the critically acclaimed dance work, Pallavi in Time. This work sprouts from the Odissi tradition and emerges as a contemporary dance exploration in full bloom.
The Pallavi Series (2016-2021) conceived and choreographed by Raka Maitra contemplated the Odissi body for all its nuances and idiosyncrasies of Odissi. Journeying through an exploration of space, time, stillness, and finally abstraction- Chowk returns to one of its most iconic works to date- 𝐏𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐕𝐈 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 which premiered in 2017 to a sold-out audience. Devoid of story, character, and context, this work is pure dance at its finest; a dialogue in time between dance, music, and rhythm which pushes each dancer to the limits of strength and endurance.
Described by Stephanie Burridge as “ground- breaking work in the Indian classical canon”, Pallavi in Time is a timeless work of undeniable power that prompts new perspectives into understanding classical dance.
