Shakti is present in all things, the creative and destructive energy of nature, benevolent and terryfying. Myths of the Hindu Goddess provide inspiration for this drama of creation, corruption and conflict.
On a large screen, beautiful puppetry and body shadows show changes of scale, transformations distortions of forms and mysterious lighting effects.
The colourful, changing shadow images merge with evocative video projections of nature from the Yorkshire landscape.
This ground-breaking fusion of shadow and video provides a visual feast that includes Indian dancers and is accompanied by an
original music compostion containing Indian themes and instruments with driving, modern beats.
