The concept of polar opposites, as a philosophical cornerstone, resonates across many cultures. It often defines the boundaries against which emotions, virtues, character, and, indeed, life itself, is viewed and understood. This is the primeval concept which is to be portrayed through this production, using the sentiment of Shringara, or love, as the medium.
Shijith N Parvathy have drawn their material from three great epics in three classical Indian languages:
Rukmini Kalyanam from the Bhagavatham in Telugu;
Kamba Ramayanam in Tamil;
Kumarasambhavam in Sanskrit.
In each of these three pieces, the sentiment of Shringara in its many forms, is highlighted through the characters and personalities of three divine couples: Rukmini and Krishna, Sita and Rama, and Parvathy and Shiva, respectively.
