Inhabited Geometry
In a black and white space, the delicate and clearly defined contours of six dancers engender rapidly flowing movements to create a highly elaborate universe. In Inhabited Geometry, choreographer Mandeep Raikhy generates spaces that evoke both home and homeland, but which also make room for individuality, friction and conflict. German media artist Chris Ziegler compresses and layers the choreography using cinematic spaces, allowing the dancers to merge with the transient imagery and make one thing very clear: on the overpopulated Indian subcontinent, sufficient living space is a rare commodity.
While at home with the traditional Indian dance Bharata Natyam and the martial art Kalaripayattu, Mandeep Raikhy and his dancers are also very much in tune with contemporary European dance.
