Rachna Nivas’ newest work-in-progress personifies the dark and mystical realm of tantra and its radical hailing of supreme feminine power - an all-encompassing transcendent knowledge of non-duality that liberates only through full submersion into her wholeness. She is intoxicating and terrifying, ascetic and erotic, loving and rageful, beautiful and grotesque. She is the force that binds us and the force that sets us free.

Through kathak dance, live music, special lighting and set design, this work will haunt, provoke, and enchant while illuminating a woman’s treacherous path to transforming her shadows and reclaiming her wild limitless nature 🌿

Featuring live musical artists: Jayanta Banerjee, sitar / Jay Gandhi, bansuri flute / Satyraprakash Mishra, tabla / Jake Charkey, cello
