The song of the season was imagined as an ode to the shifting seasons and the quiet wonders that grace our journey, often overlooked—blossoms that symbolize the transitions of India’s seasons. Equally fluid and delicate, like the changing seasons and fragile flowers, are the classical dance forms. Combining these two elements to craft evocative imagery felt like a natural choice.
Indian classical dance is an excellent medium for storytelling. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, it blends intricate movements, expressions, music, and symbolism to narrate tales with depth and emotion. They use mudras (hand gestures) and abhinaya (facial expressions) to convey complex emotions and narratives. These gestures act as a language that transcends words into strong visuals.
