An experience of the senses

Production: Sruthi Sailesh

We know and understand this world through our senses. They are our primary sources of knowledge. Within the theater, performers create imaginary circumstances that feel like true experiences to members of the audience. These experiences leave the members of the audience feeling as though they have witnessed something so close to them that they feel emotions rising within, but they do not carry the weight of these emotions home with them. This cathartic experience that audiences enjoy within a theater is called “Rasa” in the Indian tradition.

In order to experience Rasa, there must be Anubhava, or an experience of the senses. Ambi and Rukmini come together in Anubhava, a unique performance of 3 movements that will weave stories and experiences for the audience to immerse in.
