About this Event
Godavari: Who Am I?
by Nalini Prakash, Vijay Palaparty, and Ramya Kapadia | Spilling Ink (Washington, DC)
April 18, 2026 | 4:00 - 5:30 pm | 130 FLEX Theatre, HUB
Rooted in the sacred presence of the Godavari River, this work moves through a landscape shaped by memory, devotion, and return. Beginning at the edge of the sea, where all rivers are received, a journey unfolds inward through spaces of abundance, revelation, love, and quiet loss.
Along the way, what is hidden begins to surface. Devotion reveals itself through persistence and surrender. Longing settles into the body. What we carry, including grief, desire, and memory, begins to shift and release through the act of returning. Drawing from layered mythic and devotional narratives associated with the river, the work traces echoes of revelation, witness, and transformation without resolving into a single story.
Blending classical South Indian Bharatanatyam dance with original music and a shifting visual landscape, the performance unfolds as a series of fluid, interconnected moments. It moves between narrative and experience, inviting attention to movement, sensation, and time.
As the river turns back toward its source, a deeper recognition emerges.
What we seek is already within us.
