Samadhina is a quest to present Bharatanatyam in an eclectic and spiritual form. Each piece is strewn together on the traditional structure but with music ranging from Sufi, film and khayal to compositions of Bach and Vivaldi. It will recreate the mystic trance brought about by the Sufi poets as well as saint poets Patanjali and Jayadeva, who transcend man-made religious and social barriers with their imagery.
Shobana and her team of eight accompanying dancers along with pianist Anil Srinivasan, Padmasri Vijay Ghate (tabla) and Sanjoy Das (guitar) were present for the performance.
