About The Show:
Concept and Choreography: Manasvini K R
Music: Sangita Kalanidhi Lalgudi GJR Krishnan
‘Pluti’ is an allegorical exposition of the generative process of living beings - on consciousness pruned through iterations of reality and truth. In their quest for happiness, humans journey through phases of ignorance, illusion, restraint, renunciation and ultimately enlightenment. This idea is presented by portraying the innate nature of five living creatures – the frog, the deer, the earthworm, the parrot and the cow, all set to scintillating music and explained through a captivating narrative.
