SVARUPAYA invites the spectator to share a common experience, stepping into a new world, through the intimacy of a ritual.

The artists interpret a classical Hindustani raga (which traditionally is not danced); playing with a dialogue between the past and the present, secular and sacred art.
Accompanied by the music of the sitar and percussions instruments, Jyotsna Liyanaratne presents an original choreography inspired by the traditions she has explored. She invokes the first breath, the silence and the rhythms born in the time of our ancestors.

Savarupaya ( ස්වරූපය ) : singhalese word, its sanscrit root Svarupa ( स्वरूप sva-rūpa )means:  in its own form, the essence of its nature.
