Bollywood comes to trafalgar square
THE Namastay Festival comes to Trafalgar Square this weekend with a four-day Bollywood-inspired aerial and visual spectacle.
It marks the finale of the India season in the historic square.
Film poster painters, Sushant Sandal, Suresh Sandal, Satyayya Devsani, Alam Choudhary and Santosh More, have created a giant Bollywood film poster at the foot of Nelson’s column.
The festival has seen highlights include Dreaming Now, an entrancing dance extravaganza combining ballet with Bharatanatyam from Akademi South Asian Dance UK and Shiva Dance, a newly commissioned, poetic, aerial dance piece directed by Vena Ramphal inspired by sacred geometry and evoking the Chola bronze sculptures of southern India. |
