Concept & Choreography
Sharmila Biswas
16th January 2017 6:00 PM
Venue: Mukteswar Temple premises, Bhubaneswar.
Before the beginning of time, there was nothing..........
No Movement. No stillness. No darkness. No light. No sound. No quiet. Water enveloped this nothingness. In this nothingness the Creator wished to play...
From the mahashunya, Brahma composed the divine sound – OM. Within OM was 'Murchhana' – the spiritual essence of music. She wandered, formless, expressionless in the emptiness of creation for years. Awaiting a chance to manifest herself........
The concept of Murchhana came from the oral traditions of the Mrudanga players of Odisha. There is a story on the creation of Mrudanga, handed down from one generation to the next. During the annual mrudanga making season this story is told repeatedly through verses and songs, as a part of the Mrudanga Shudhhi ritual.
