$Trik\u0101y\u0101 by Bijayini Satpathy$

Exploring Gender Beyond BinariesTrikāyā journeys into one of the most compelling and layered narratives from the Mahabharata, drawing from the story of Brihannala, the form assumed by Arjuna the archer during his final year of exile. Cursed by the apsara Urvashi, Arjuna takes on a transgender form and becomes a dance instructor to Princess Uttara. The work explores transformation, embodiment, and the fluidity of identity.Rooted in the vocabulary of Odissi, a form shaped by both feminine histories and male lineages, the performance reveals how movement can hold and express identities beyond rigid binaries.Artistic Credits:Choreographer and Performer - Bijayini SatpathyMusic composition and Vocals - Bindhumalini NarayanaswamyMardala - Sibasankar SatapathyFlute - Srinibas SatapathyLighting Design - Deepa DharmadhikariDramaturgy - Poorna SwamyManaged by - Shreya Nagarajan Singh Arts Development Consultancy (SNS)ScheduleJune 16 | 15:00 - ABHYĀSA workshopJune 17 | 19:00 - In Conversation with Bijayini Satpathy and Bindhumalini NarayanaswamyJune 20 | 15:00 - Open RehearsalJune 25 | 19:00 - PremiereJune 26 | 19:00 - Show 02June 27 | 19:00 - Show 03June 28 | 19:00 - Show 04 G5A produces and co-creates interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work that is bold, experimental, and just.In Residence, a production series, creates space for practitioners to explore their craft, form, and expression to consistently and rigorously refine their practice.
