A glimpse of reality in its terrifying beauty....is the description stated in the programme of "Vision of Forever" a stage performance produced by the Sutra Foundation which was held last week for 4 days at Istana Budaya, KL.
To me...anyone who ends up at Sutra Dance Academy in anyway...as a dancer ..musician...teacher....artist....audience or even a servant, is not by chance....its their destiny to be part of Sutra in some way....for theres so much magic in it....anyone who had stepped into sutra will know why it is so....it might seem weird to others....but believe me...theres definitely a Tinkerbell hanging around sutra house ...touching the dancers and teachers. For their shows are not just "SHOWS" but a creation which comes to life with its characters ...it just takes place in front of you ...you will see the real thing happening right before your eyes...thats not a show...u dont see people on stage....you only see the goddesses they have turned into...you dont see a man...but Krishna himself dancing in joy ....you dont see actors...you see the angels and demons fighting the battle for peace....
Just like every show produced by Sutra...this one had a special touch in it too...a piece called Dasamahavidya....which projects the ten visions of Shakti the universal female energy, which is Kali, Tara, Bhubaneswari, Sodasi, Bagala, Matangi, Bhairavi, Kamala, Chinnamasta and Dhumavati. Each of these form has its characteristics of its own....and gosh...the dancers simply turned themselves into this forms...as they brought the unification of all this forms into one as dasamahavidya.....youve simply got to watch it and let the tintinnabulations of the ankle bells awaken the drowsy soul, get it dancing in trance with the ten goddesses while the spirits enters the realms of ecstatic peace !! :)
For those who had missed it in Kl...theres still chance to watch it in Seremban and Ipoh on the 19th June and 24th July.

I have heard of these kind of events previously but I not really interested in it. By the way you have written, I can sense there's magical experience awaiting for those going for it. :)
ReplyDeleteYes...not all dancers are able to bring the essence of the story out..Sutra dancers simply have the gift...do watch their shows if you get a chance , am sure you will love it :)
