SAMYU – ‘a union’
Art has no boundaries and can transcend all beings. When we dance – there is no individual identity, there is no “I, me or you”, there is only the art. Samyu is a demonstration of this very beautiful and transformative power of dance. Nitya and Kassiyet, two artists from completely different backgrounds, training and approach come together to explore the one undeniable and simple fact – dance connects. Dance fosters collaboration and trust by breaking down barriers in a magical way, which is difficult to describe but can certainly be felt by all. As a universal language, dance speaks of joy and creates lasting bonds. Through Samyu, the dancers celebrate this unity through unique pieces of Bharatanatyam.
