Shobhana & Troupe - Interesting Fusion

Watching Shobana after watching Arangetram at Mandi House clearly exposed differences in a mature v/s newbie performances. After my last visit to Sai Audi (when the evening was wet, with spring setting firm foot on Delhi weather map), this visit was relatively calm and dry. Performance, in the beginning was quite traditional. Some idiot in the audience tried to record/click some photos of the danseuse to which she came up with the remark ... "please kill it". Immediately afterwards, another idiot got up and almost screamed from one of the back rows proclaiming his appreciation for her performance on behalf of Delhi-ites. To such people, I have a suggestion - you better speak for yourself, Sir! Amidst all this chaos she continued her performance till the time she was joined by her troupe of talented ladies. Till then, I had not seen Bharatnatyam performed on fast, peppy and even spicy pop tunes. But to top it all, the concluding performance of the dance moves on Bach's piece was beyoind imagination. This was an amazing fusion of Western classical music with traditional Indian dance form. I don't have enough words or wisdom to describe the experience at this stage, but I hope I am able to witness more such performances!
