On a canvas of momentary spring and using metaphors of Madhobi, an exquisite South Asian flower tree, and a gentle spring breeze, the musical saga ‘Madhobi : A Musical Illustration of Love’ touched the audience by capturing various interwoven, subtle, and intricate dimensions of conjugal love: doubt, longing, attraction, togetherness, jealousy, ecstasy, agony, hope, and separation.
Artists from different backgrounds performed in this multicultural spring festival displaying their traditions and heritages. Among many, a soulful Carnatic classical vocal music by young talent Lakshmi Menon and a vibrant duet dance of spring by Bharatanatyam expert Arno Kamolika and Vidya Kotamraju enthralled the houseful audience.
