Warli art, Bharatanatyam and immersive animation come together to tell stories about nature in an evocative performance

It is a lovely weekend when we reach out to artiste Prachi Saathi and designer Upasana Nattoji Roy ahead of their show in the city. The duo will present their unique concept performance that combines three different art forms — Bharatanatyam, Warli Art and immersive animation. Quite the challenge, particularly when the three forms are structurally different. “When I write choreography for my sets, I often draw stick figures to explore the idea. One day, the similarity in the geometric nature of both Bharatanatyam and Warli art struck me. It led me to think, why not weave a story around it?” shares Saathi, recalling the origins of the idea.
