The dance uses the classical Bharata Natyam dance form to portray the five divine acts of the gods according to Hindu philosophy: creation, sustenance, protection, purification and dissolution. The activities are presented in abstract segments using pure dance movement to convey the idea of each act, followed by interpretational segments using expressional dance and gestural sequences. With a rich vocabulary of facial expressions, precise dancing, and a balance of solemnity and humor, the Natya dancers describe a spiritual reality through a contemporary sensibility.
