Not T̶o̶d̶a̶y̶'̶s̶ Yesterday
Not Today's Yesterday is an International collaboration between UK award-winning Bharatanatyam artist Seeta Patel and Australian choreographer Lina Limosani. This work blends techniques from Bharatanatyam, contemporary dance & theatre to create a poetic narrative that has the beauty & disquiet of a Grimm's fairy-tale. It is a one-woman show which subversively co-opts whitewashing against itself.
Once upon a time.. in a faraway land.. it happened.. did not happen.. could have happened.
