April 22 @ 6:00 pm PDT
San Francisco, CA – Samudra Dance Creations is proud to announce the
return of “The Earth Speaks 2.0”, directed and choreographed by Jyotsna
Vaidee. This family-friendly production, presented by Samudra Dance
Creations, features a cast of 5 professional dancers, 6 professional
musicians from both Indian classical and western classical genres. “The
Earth Speaks 2.0” is an evening-length odyssey, a multi disciplinary
work with dance-music-spoken word poetry; raising awareness on
climate change.
The work reflects our interconnectedness with nature and our impact on climate. It is a
story of a woman, who is a metaphor for earth. What she says to all that is happening
around her, her whelm and us. A show for all ages and all communities. We have used
the Rhythm of Bharatanatyam, the Raaga’s of Carnatic music interwoven with spoken
word to communicate a very Contemporary Theme on Climate Change; we tell the story
of a Woman and her journey Past, Present and even Future. The script draws
inspiration from mythology, from stories of the indigenous tribes and even science.
