Virodhabhasa – The Paradox<\/em> (world premiere) is a new solo choreographed and performed by the renowned Indian Bharatanatyam artist Navia Natarajan. It is inspired by paradoxes, and the idea that to better appreciate this world, we need to look more deeply at opposites and contradictions. A whirling vortex of energy and grace, Natarajan has a luminous presence on stage. She stays true to the rigours of classical technique, but injects her work with a questioning spirit, steeped in contemporary innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cA personal tragedy that held within it both sadness and peace led me to consider more deeply this idea of paradox. As I lived through those difficult days, my thinking about paradox began to transform and find expression in my dance. This work is my ongoing attempt to investigate the profound nature of paradox.\u201d \u2013 Navia Natarajan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
