NADI
নদী | नदी
NADI (नदी) is a Kathak-contemporary outdoor performance (RnD) exploring the relationship between rivers, memory, and the human-water relationship — holding the Ganga and the Taff in dialogue. We are a company of five performers, a live painter, a vocalist, and a tabla player, brought together by a shared belief that Kathak belongs outdoors, in public space, in conversation with the world as it actually is.
The river is not saved. The river is still at risk. But you have stood beside her for twenty minutes, and the body remembers what it stands beside.
