The Unseen Sequence - with English Subtitles

Bharatanatyam - one of India’s most profound classical arts - is being reinterpreted, renewed, and invigorated through the work of an artist rooted in tradition but with a uniquely contemporary sensibility - Malavika Sarukkai.
The Unseen Sequence is, however, not simply about Malavika Sarukkai; it deliberates the valuable connections and departures that the artist makes from a hallowed and, often, unforgiving tradition.

"The camera revealingly shifts from close-up to long-shot, from angle to angle, showing the rich multi-directionality of Bharatanatyam, the interplay between strict geometric form and speaking gesture, and, above all, the singular way a great Indian dancer visibly subordinates the self to a sense of something far larger."

Very deep film. Thank you for making it.
Long back at the end of 80s I'd seen Madame dance on TV here in Russia. I was amazed with her graceful and beautiful dance.
Such a dedicated artist. Hats off

Dance is the union with the universe

One sees the personal journey of the artist, like that of an eternal river. The many journeys it takes to meet the great ocean. Truly a beautiful one.

Inexplicable beauty ...Divine and Sublime. Pranams to the art, the artist, and Nataraja

My Guruji, Sri Supratim Talukder, refers to Malavika Sarukkai as his Goddess. This has helped me to understand why.
