Harihara - in Love with Vishnu and Shiva

There will be a Bharathanatyam Performance by Daisygarani Vijayakumaran on the title " Harihara - in Love with Vishnu and Shiva" this coming Sunday at the Malaysia Tourism Centre. Daisygarani has been known by her graceful performance of My Body, My Temple in 2006, which was her first solo performance.



This time she will be collaborating with the renowned Bharathanatyam Dancer Mavin khoo who as been a devoted dancer for the past 20 years. Mavin khoo himself has performed all types of dances ranging from Ballet, Natyam to contemporary in Britain, Europe, United States and India.

Mavin has guided Daisygarani Vijayakumaran and has been a part of her preparation for the performance this Sunday. For this show, Mavin has directed Daisygarani to explore deeper the core theme of love between the soul and the immortal spirit.

The show will be on live orchestra music and Mavin will be on the nattuvangam.

Daisy has attended master classes in bharatanatyam by some of the best of Kalakshetra: Professor N. S. Jayalaksmi, Adayar K. Lakshman, and Srimathi Kamalarani. She is also the disciple of Geetha Shankaran-Lam under the Temple of Fine Arts and has recently received instruction from renowned Guru Durga Charan Ranbir of Orissa.

Harihara will talk about the expressions on different possibilities of this relationship between the human and the divine, dramatically revealed through some of the most beautiful compositions of Carnatic music.

In Harihara, Daisygarani will delve into a series of five works from the bharatanatyam repertoire that embraces the concept of love for the immortal Hindu gods, Vishnu and Shiva.
