Debarati Kundu and Debapriya Das
From time immemorial, autumn has captured the imagination of poets across the world. The clouds floating listlessly in the clear blue skies,the rustling of the breeze through the leaves, the mesmerizing aroma of the seasonal flowers, the bountiful harvest creates an air of gaiety that is hard to ignore. It is not a coincidence that autumn ushers in a plethora of festivals in different parts of the world.
In this thematic presentation, we have explored the concept of autumn season and autumn festivals through the works of John Keats, Rabindranath Tagore, and traditional Sanskrit hymns. The compositions are in English and Bengali. The sequence has been choreographed based on Indian classical dance forms with an interconnecting script.
