Bali by Adishakti Laboratory for Theatre Arts Research (Pondicherry, India)

‘Bali’ is a story from the Ramayan that has been depicted using the traditional performance methods in India. The performance managed to keep the audience enthralled. A fusion of contemporary and traditional music accompanied by traditional movement-based pieces that depict the story of Bali and Sugriva. The performance was intense and yet inclusive of some comedic scenes. The lights managed to do whatever little was needed to complete the magic that the five incredible performers had created. The audience left the auditorium in utter awe of the control the performers had over their being on stage.
