Synopsis

ShyamaRasa is a musical mosaic that explores the spectrum of human affection, guided by the life and legend of the dark-blue deity, Krishna. The ensemble weaves together distinct moments in his story to illuminate five timeless facets of love: Philia (friendship), Eros (romantic passion), Storge (familial bond), Agape (unconditional devotion) and Pragma (enduring commitment). This rich emotional journey is expressed through a unique repertoire that juxtaposes the rigorous structures of Carnatic and Hindustani classical compositions with moving, musically arranged verses from various literary traditions, offering audiences a deep, nuanced, and memorable understanding of these universal emotions.
