The hiphop based boy group Descendants had succeeded in reminding us to be who we truly want to be. They were able to touch the hearts of dancers through their theme ‘Passion for dance’ where they presented their own love for dance and nudged us to not let society’s opinion get in our minds.
Team Jhalak gave us an eye opening performance on tribal issues based on the muthanga incident. Wearing the folk attire and makeup that expresses their culture the team was able to deliver the incident of police firing on the Adivasis (tribal clans) in the Muthanga village of Wayanad district, Kerala.
Team Praana x Rudra focuses on a fusion of theme based classical and contemporary styles. The concept where man forgets the boundaries that defines him and turns to a wild beast which lead to some of the most savagous atrocities around us, the concept of ‘Narabali’.
Team scarlet presented a performance that is relatable to every student at some point of their life. They showcased the importance of not falling for peer pressure that forces us to do things we may regret. A shy timid girl wanting to be a part of the ‘popular group’ in school realizes her true personality and stands for what she thinks is right.
