"I wore myself out watching the road.
Counting the moons, I grieved,
Holding back a love I could not hold..."
                                -Ksetrayya

Love, loss, and the slippery relationships between self, friend, and lover emerge in this contemporary take on abhinaya (emotional expression).  A collaborative creation rooted in and moving between the choreographers' backgrounds in Bharatanatyam and Kathak, this duet is loosely inspired by a 17th century Telegu poem by Ksetrayya.
