Programme notes for Vanessa Mirza's ‘Soliloquy’
A solo that unravels a poetic soliloquy of bold dreams and desires embodied within the breathtaking landscape of the marshes. Nature in its vastness, listens, nurtures, holds and affirms the dancer in a way nothing else can, to release a dance of abandon and freedom.
