An experimental Bharatanatyam work on crisis, climate and connection.
The Sarvavidya Dance Ensemble returns to the Lesedi Stage at the Joburg Theatre with Bhumi, a bold reimagining of its experimental Bharatanatyam production for a world in crisis.
Meaning Earth in Sanskrit, Bhumi explores humanity’s changing relationship with the natural world, and with one another. First staged in 2023 in response to the escalating climate crisis, the production returns three years later to a world transformed by accelerating climate disruption, devastating wars, extraordinary advances in artificial intelligence, and deepening concentrations of economic, political and technological power.
