In 'Devī', three dancers from the Poernima Dance Company, including choreographer Gobardhan herself, unfold their vision of the feminine, a concept that is often only viewed in relation to the masculine. 

The performance explores this apparent duality between feminine power, Devī, and masculine power, Deva. A duality that is merely a surface; these two seemingly opposing forces are essentially one. The masculine and feminine are not separate entities; they are complementary aspects of the same whole, interwoven within ourselves, in society, and in the universe. 

Devī invites us to revisit this duality. Through Gobardhan's contemporary movement language, rooted in Bharata Natyam, the performance opens a path beyond duality, towards the unity of energy and consciousness. The layered musical landscape crafted by composer Jorg Schellekens and musician S.V. Giridhara creates a sound world where the subtle balance that sustains all life becomes tangible, a tribute to the power that is both tender and strong, both personal and universal.
